Hello -

Very good day on the way to work :

RECENT CAR CHANGES : 3 of four wheels covered in plastic racing disks.  
No rear wheel skirt.  Side skirts and spring-loaded front air dam in place 
but not video-tested.
HYPOTHESIS : Warms days + slow traffic. Very low humidity. It's amazing to think I could have got my record today in "warm but not hot" weather.
