it could have been the weather and not the track. I'm sure trap speeds wouldnt change much from track to track unless they were in a different altitude or something.

It was definitely the weather. It was humid as hell and it was pretty hot still when the runs first started.

VMP has a lake beside it...

Humidity is always higher there resulting in slower ET's....

Track is SMOOTH now though...
