First Run Syndrome

[90mustangGT]

At the track, I've noticed no matter what I do, the first run sucks. So much so when I first tech in I just go ahead and get a run or two in knowing my run will suck. I'm sure track conditions gets better, and the cooler air helps but still.

My first run tonight at the 1/8th was 8.8 at about 79 mph, but by 9:00pm I had them knocked down to what's in my sig.

Has anyone else noticed this.

(p.s. not sure weather to put this in tech or talk becaue it is talk, but it has tech in it, I think.)

yeah, my first run is usually about .5 off normal.

Ive noticed it too but dont worry about it, no one gives a crap about your first run.
BTW, thats a good time. Thats a little better than I used to run. Congrats bro.

I run my best pass on the first run most of the time. I just go out there rip the shifter off and run. Then the rest of the night try too hard o beat that time and do something wrong. For me I seem to not care on the first run and run better!

First run ALWAYS sucks for me too. My 60' times suffer also. After that I consistantly have good runs.
