how much can 110 degrees affect my times ?

I went to the track for the first time ever and i ran a 14.24 at 95 mph, and i was just wondering how much did the 110 degree weather hurt my times. Is it a noticable amount or not I know about how the hotter air is the thinner it gets and makes less power.

the sun hurts the tractuion potential of the track, the humidity hurts your engine preformance as well as the temp. you would of ran better on a better day or worse on a worst day as far as the weather goes.

On a nice cool 50 - 60 degree day you will be in the
high 13's......
