A couple thoughts Bob.
Even with the water moved toward the starting line the actual start line prep was the same as always.
The air was noticably better,cooler and less humid.
The passes I made in the car I never tried a burn out but I did manage a couple lets call them dry hops for the lack of a better term, it still spun launching off dead idle, pushing it to 1200, or completely loading it to maybe2300.
It felt like it spun for20-30 feet , the more launch rpm the longer it seemed to spin.
I think the better air=more hp which caused the wheel spin and netted slower times. Hot laps probably contributed as well
