Good night at Hidden Valley, NT

Actually, it was a hot and very sticky night, not at all pleasant wearing long sleeves and trousers but I managed to have some fun anyway ;)
I haven't been to the drags for about 15 years but I think I might've got the bug back.
Car is a BA n/a XR6, turbo snorkel, BMC filter, Bluepower edit-in-progress.
Pitiful reaction times and bugger all traction on the stock rims and tyres meant my best of 10 passes was a very ordinary 15.861@144.01km/h (slip is km's and I couldn't be bothered doing the conversions).
I was wondering though, how much does humidity affect performance?
It started at 94.3% on my frist slip at 8.03 pm and crept up from there. I did the last pass of the night at 10.13 pm and by then it was up to 98.8%.
Can I look forward to better times if the weather ever catches up with the calender and we actually get some cool dry air this year (cool being relative of course)?
