going to the track the temp is sapose to be day time high 80s about 65% humity and.
and the temps at night are sapose to be a low of 66 derees and the humidity is sapose to be 83% or so.. can someone calculate these temps in the computer and see what ill run.. try doing also 73 degrees and 85% humidity.. thanks this is for an 04 max se auto

Well, there's a ton of things that affect a car's performance.
The two (temp and hunidity) are factors, but much smaller factors than say elevation!
Just so you know, and others, if you want me to plug in numbers for you, give me somemore details, like
1. Elevation of the track
2. Temp.
3. Humidity
4. Your weight
5. Wind (if you know of the speed that day and whether it was a head or tailwind)
6. If you have a spoiler on your car. (In the 04 Max SE's case it lower's the drag coefficient from .30 to .28)
But to answer your question. If you were at sea level, no wind, perfectly level road (no elevation change) and weighed about 160 pounds with 30 pounds of fuel, car is stock, 35 psi in tires when hot, etc etc here's what you'd get:
(oh, these times are also based on "normal" road traction, not drag strips)
66 degrees with 83% humidity = 1/4 mile of 14.98 @ 95.47 mph
73 degrees with 85% humidity = 1/4 mile of 15.01 @ 95.37 mph
but let me show you what a slight elevation increase does:
with the 66 degrees and 83% humidity your at 1000 ft of elevation your times would drop to:
15.11 @ 94.34 mph
Let us know how you do.

(In the 04 Max SE's case it lower's the drag coefficient from .30 to .28)ok the track is in new jersey i dont know the elevation. the temp is sapose to drop to about 68 degrees at the lowest, humidity is sapose to be from 50% to 83% im 130 pnds.. and i do have a spoiler on the car. how bout that??
