Now, now Heath, your not allowed to use mum's car for drag racing
If I were to say that I might be in a car that has flames painted all over the front, would that be a good thing or a bad thing in relation to that statement?

In relation to that statement, that would probably make ask, what's your mum on?
(No disrespect to your mum) & suppose that is a good thing.

Hot track is good for traction, But cold air is better for the car... So you kinda want both... The night session would be perfect!

the problem is the hot air your car will be breathing
it will run like a pig and you will be far from time wise what it is able to run
also not good for your engine
you could cause damage trying to rev it in the heat
your jetting will be up the sh!t
if you have jets to swap around to help the situation (carby cars)
lets hope the weather gets cooler its droped down from 38 to 35

Apparantly not a fan of oil filters that aren't secured from rotating off, need an overflow bottle obviously, diff leaks, gearbox leaks? Just clean it all up with degreaser, that's what I'm going to do and see how it comes up.

make sure you have a overflow bottle
a empty can of coke ect cable tied in position is ok
no oil leaks,give it a good wipe around before scruteneering
never heard of the oil filter thing heath
just to make it safe for yourself and other blokes going down the strip dont hit any oil or coolant leaks and loose control of the cars
you need long sleeved shirt
helmet aus standards approved
full footwear (no thongs ect) runners ok
long pants
