Fast 60' times = fast E.T.

And your car should definately run faster as the air gets cooler. 59 degrees is a great temperture for running fast times. But as the tempertures get colder, it can be harder to hook up.

I launch my car by holding it on the line with the brake while revving to around 1000 rpms. To launch I just lift up on the brake and roll quickly into the gas. I get consistant 1.9x sec 60' time with this method.

But your track prep will have a lot to do with how you launch your car.
This is exactly what I do. I hold the brake and get it to about 1,000 RPM then let go of brake and go into it. I keep telling myself my not so fast times are due to my rims but who knows.

I am also totally stock. Not one modification..
