And don't be tempted to run your AC between rounds, as it WILL still drip when you get to the line (risking disqualification as well as screwing up traction), AND one of the times you will forget to turn it off before the run, and suddenly run a tenth or more slower. In my Jetta at the recent West Coast Regional Championships, I accidentally turned on my AC when putting a water bottle in the cup holder. In that little car it slows it down around 5 tenths!
