what is considered perfect conditions at the strip?
A lot of it alos has to do with track prep. Some tracks are preped much better than others. This helps with traction. As far as Hp is concerned, the cooler the better, lower the humidity the better.

From: Orlando with the slow cars
low humidity around 30-40% or better, 50-60* so you can enjoy the day grill out with everybody and over 30 barometric pressure.
last march for Fun Ford Weekend here at Orlando Speedworld, the weather was awesome. Just like above but in the high 60's low 70's. Perfect since we had 3 rv's and about 10 buddies pitted with us for 3 days...except i am like **** break from american pie

About 65 degrees. Sometimes the sun will warm the staging pad at about 11 o’clock. When the pad is warm and sticky, that’s the best time to run for ET.

Expecting no less than 13's in those conditions.
Did you run your AT there? Nice times.
Cold, dry, high pressure, at sea level.
The colder and dryer the air, the more power your car will make. More air=more power.
However, for the best 1/4 mile TIME, it would likely be only cool. If it's too cold, your tires are hard, and you'll be way more likely to spin.
