Anyone curious about how cold temperatures will dampen the performance of Krytox, well here you go.
I was getting my Slammr ready for next months race ready and when I was out at the track working on it a few days ago we had a warm spell with the temps in the 60 to 70 degree range. I don't have heat where the track is, only in my little workshop. The temperature by the track is dependant on the outside temp. Anyways the temp that day was 67 degrees at the track and my Slammr was running 2.99's consistantly. I packed the car away. I went out last night and the temperature was in the 20's and the track temp was in the low 40's. The same car was 0.02 seconds slower, yet all the graphite cars were running the same speeds. We should be warming back up by the weekend and I would think the times would come back down once the oil warms a little. I sure hope Glenn pays his heating bill. ;D

Every month all of us graphite guys/girls send an extra $5.00 to have Glenn crank up the A/C to a cool 20 degrees.It's the only way we can keep up with you,sorry,hope you are'nt mad ;D ;D 
That would be fair wouldn't it.
