Makes sense with temps in the 40s - Summers just can't grab well. Everyone I spoke with at the Strip early that morning was excited about the prospect of good times with the low DAs, but the outlier was the overcast skies all day which didn't allow the track to warm up. Down here in the South it's rare to find anyone using All Seasons at the Strip, except for maybe the occ family car or pick-up just out for a fun time.

If the sun had come out early and stayed, I might've had a chance at your record.
Can't wait for the season to open back up! I'm hoping to get into the 11.6s. Was so close last year.

If you don't mind me asking - where are you on the southeast coast? I'm in the process of building a custom house in north South Carolina right now. Won't be ready for another year though...
