Default Going to the track tonight

So, cars the same as last year. Except my last trip to the track was my first time flashing instead of footbraking and it made a huge difference on my times. I think the car has more in it with some more runs using the flashing method. Think I'll be able to cut some time off ? It was pretty cool outside last time I made the runs. Usually don't let the car cool off either. I drive there(40 + miles). Go to tech and right to the staging lanes where I'll do back to back runs ( usually at least 30 min wait time in lanes, prob more tonight since last weekend was the opener and got rained out) Might let the car cool down tonight.

I'm hoping to see a 13.3x pass tonight.

Weather,

Partly cloudy this evening followed by mostly cloudy skies and a few showers after midnight. Low 48F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

Track prep sucks when my mid 13 sec car spins all the way down the track.... 13.59 @102.97 first run. They just ran the tractor hope I'll hook next run

It's getting cooler out, 13.51 @103 but I'm still slower than last year. If I don't see something decent in this next pass I'll just head home and upload some video
