Adjustments(base/counterweight) are made for each track and the conditions that are present. Yes you can adjust air gap for reaction times. You won't have to worry about hot lapping at an national event. The ones i've been to you run at 8:00am sit for 6 hours and run again.
6 hours between first and second round at NHRA D4 races is common, but in the late rounnds they rush you back to the lanes. How does heat effect the clutch and the performance of the car? Ed will you be running any of the NHRA Div. 4 races this year?
