Inching into 12's..... 2.94's vs 3.23's

I like how you get it done! Do you go through the traps in 2nd? Do you log weather conditions?
Thanks! I shift to 3rd, my motor isn't an RPM motor at all. I don't log the weather conditions, but my friends down at the track always let me know. I don't change anything regardless of the weather, though.
