LOL..but everyone at the track??
The only people running good times were Pro stocks, they ran while the sun was still out...All of us test & tune guys ran absolutely horrid..I mean...Z06's running high 13's!!!! Even guys on slicks were spinning like mother f'ers!
I think from now on, everytime I go to the track, I'm going to observe a handful of runs before I pay and go inside....

I went last nite to Dan and the track just got worse and worse. My best run was my first, 14.4@96mph. I was the tenth car in the lane and the air was still semi-warm. The rest of the nite I ran 14.7's and 14.8's. Spining the tires in every gear by the end of the nite. I am not use to spinning the tires in third, since i am coming from a honda.

Try taking a carburated truck tuned at sea level and go drive around at 7000'. I had to use 4 low to back the trailer up to get out of the parking lot. Yuck.

I know at our track, they never prep the track with PHT for test and tune nights. They only prep it for the races on Saturday. But for test and tune, PHT isn't needed for street cars. I never have a problem hooking up at our track. They did put down PHT once though... and it made the traction awful. Maybe they prepped the track with PHT and that made all the street tires break free. Who knows...
