After pit stop flame-outs?

I see a lot of people start their cars up on the box and start turning the needles before the engine has even warmed up. I like to tune my engines after they have ran for atleast 5 minutes and have 1/2 tank of fuel. Right when your pit man picks up the car, give it a blip to clean it out. If the engine is tuned right, it shouldn't flame out.

I had the same problem once. I leaned the bottom about an hour or so and it never did it again.

Something is not right here
If you adjust the needles in warm weather, the setting will be too LEAN when its gets colder during the afternoon.
Colder airtemp = more oxygen in the air = need more fuel to have the right mixture.

You know
the problem is later in the evening when the main goes down the humidity comes out and replaces the air with water thus causing a richer condition, even in cooler temps.
So it's like this
Hotter day, lean it a bit, as it cools off it makes more power, but rarely needs to be fattened up, and the later hour, humidity causes a fat running engine, not enough to make it slow, but just enough to make the dang thing flame out.

Yes that is true, but you missed the issue....
