how much gas in your tank? when you go to the track.
When I go to the dragstrip I usually have about less than 1/4 tank I wonder if this affects performance at all, whada you think?

Weight of One Gallon (U.S.) of Water, Gasoline, and Ethanol
1 gallon of water equals 8.33 lbs.
1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs.
1 gallon of ethanol equals 6.59 lbs.
Source: U.S. Dept. of Energy.
Edit: I always thought that water and gas would have similar weights.

This is possible when your running on fumes and taking a looooong sweeping turn, but I don't think that you'll have to worry with a 20 second or less pass down the 1/4 mile.
