Default Track temp make a HUGE difference?

Gonna go to the track tomorrow (for the first time, already got butterflies). Tomorrow is said to be around upper 70s, possibly 80...I know that cars will tend to run faster in cooler weather, but by how much?

crap...I was hoping to see low 14s, but with the 'healthy' boost in temperature that might not happen.

If you think you're going to go and not run times you want, maybe you should wait til a day when its supposed to be cooler.

doh I don't really care about the times, just bragging rights to me, nothing else (that's really no big deal just got longtubes in the mail today and a set of underdrive pulley's to install too )
