Al, you and I talked about this in depth Sunday and yesterday and I took in everything you said.. So that's why I am focusing on the car and not the weather.. The track conditions did not change that much from run 3 and run 4..

The water and oil temp was the same for the 4th run as they were earlier in the day and not having a trans temp gauge, thats the only thing that could have changed.. but, I was first in the staging lanes and went thru the same routine to warm up the tranny as I approached the waterbox.. So if the trans temp was up or down.. I dont think it was by very much..

Because of your opinion.. I've opted for a tight dial vs bagging and keeping a little wiggle room, but I gotta tell you. I've had more success playing the fender game at the end.. lol So I wanted to know how do I compensate for when the car just isnt up to the task..
