pabs should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Right...as someone explained, cold air is more dense so you get more air in there. As an example, if you know someone who flies airplanes, asked them about temperature/altitude restrictions. If the temperature is too high (air less dense) the engines do not produce as much power. The best place to fly in that regard is Alaska...cold and at sea level. That is also the reason that your car will run better at say Miami (low altitude) than Denver (mile high city). MORE AIR I TELL YA!!!!
