    Track Temps

    Top fuel and funny car rounds
    1. 88 degrees
    2. 82 degrees
    3. 71 degrees

    70 to 85 is the optimum range for setting records. This was more than a temperature issue.

    I know the PS guys were expressing concern about the left lane on Friday when the sun was out all day.

    Bill do you have to troll on ever thread I post in? Go to the NHRA site. The track temps on every round are in the results. Give it a break.

    Ok Mr Smarty Pants. You're NOT that special...........no matter what your mommy told you.
    I happen to have interest in this thread since I was there.
    Both Don and I said to each other that it was the last round when the last pair of nitro cars SORTA went down the track.

    I was there also. Front row section P5 Saturday and Sunday. Give it a break and knock off the childish attitude. You posted your theory like an expert only to find out those temps were higher than you thought. Now you are back pedaling in damage control mode again. I have seen fuel cars go down the track in cooler conditions in Pomona on multiple occasions.

    Well Jeffy. Where am I back peddling????????????
    ............did the sportsman dragters get down the track ok?
    Did the nitro cars get down the track ok?
    What would have been the track temps been AFTER AN HOUR for the turn around for the next round?
    How many times did it rain at Pomona races you said were cooler? Rain takes a toll on the track prep.
    I've seen an outlaw car run 6.00 and all over the track with track temps at 57* last November in Vegas.........shot the track with my own temp gun. I went back to the staging lanes and called off the test run. Two seconds later they said that's all for tonight.

    Don't be mad because someone actually has experience with fast car.

    Yea that was a very realistic video. I was so focused on the car I guess I didn't see how fast the tire was going.
