Went to the track for the 1st time with Headers
And the homos cancelled it because it wasn't above 48 degrees. I was SO ready to see what it could do. Although it is idling rough and not in top form.
Plus I can't get a bit of traction from a stop with the headers on now. It spins like mad. I think that is going to cause me some real trouble next week at the track.

That sucks. My local track will cancel it if there is rain 100 miles away!
But seriously, they will cancel the event if there is a CHANCE that the temp will drop below 45 degrees during the event.
I have raced in 35 degree weather along with cars that put down more than 1000hp and they hook up just fine if the track prep is up to par. But the thing is, the track prep gets a lot harder to maintain when the track never heats up. So it's a safety issue with most small town tracks. They don't have the want or resources to maintain the track throughout the day or night.

thats pretty weak. at my track (infineon) they dont care what the temp is i would guess since its been near freezing when i raced. they also dont care that much about rain. we got a sprinkle one time so they stopped racing for a half hour then started again. good luck for next week.

well theres always a risk of not being able to race. my main concern around here is usually rain. it seems its always raining around race day or a chance of rain. win some lose some ya know. run it hard when you hit the track next and you will forget all about this jazz
