ON MY BRACKET RACER THE CAR WANTS TO PICK UP APPOX.10 TO.12 WHEN THE TEMP DROPS TO AROUND 65 TO 60 DEGREE I HAVE TRIED JET CHANGES BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP ANY SUGGESTIONS ?

Leave the tuning alone. Dial down.

Consider a weather station / ET prediction computer like TAG or others available from JEGS or Summit. If that's out of reach, do it the old fashioned way. Watch the classes prior to your staging call run and see what happens to their cars. Of course to do this effectively you'll have to know what they were running earlier in the day to judge how much they picked up or lost in ET. Another thing, use the brakes when you need to. Doesn't matter if you beat the other car by an inch or a block, you still get the win light as long as you don't break out.

Ditto to what Ron said, dial down .10-.12. Bracket racing sure is easy, huh? LOL!
