Talking cold temps=0 traction

It has been in the 30's all day today.Take off's from red lights I have been SMOKING posi traction where I usually would only leave a couple off scratches.I must admit though,it is fun to see smoke come off the tires and start going sideways like it has HP!

that is what sucks the most the winter is when you want to race because of the temps but you cant because of the traction issue we can never win so i think we should just give up.... nah racing is too much fun
