If you can bring it all together and hook on the days with better weather you will be rewarded with better runs.

It also really helps when possible to run with or follow the "race" cars instead of getting behind a bunch of street tire cars that are digging up the track and leaving oil and water on it.

The real cure is to mount up a good set of slicks for those days instead of DOT's......Cliff
I agree at this track the best day is Saturday afternoon when they are running points events,testntuners are welcome too.Figured out that a few years ago race with the big boys..last night was a good sight at this track they were doing an event called"Beat the Heat".Basically you could race a police car and donate money.The turnout was unbelievable.Most of the cars were street cars and the most of the drivers were under 30!Which for any dragstrip is a good sight to see!I was just happy to be part of it and able to donate some money.
