Kind of like it was wet, except 3 lanes were smoked out. I'm going anyway but I'll be pretty pissed when I run a slow time. I think I'll have to head out to calder for a run on a cold night and really get a good number. I've already done 30+ passes at heathcote since I got this car both stock and tune only both times I was only mildly impressed. So I have tons of before and after runs to compare.
