Hey guys
I thought that normally aspirated vehicles benefited by running in the cooler
denser air of the morning even with the trade off of more drag where as force
feed vehicles especially those using a high latent heat fuel ie. methanol or
N2o would benefit from running in the hottest part of the day  least drag
caused by the rho factor of the equation  or am I barking up the wrong tree

on the bikes we make more power than we can put to the salt
so it's a good deal to exchange power for less drag .
