Is that right?
Yup. The front auxiliary radiator vents right in front of the wheel causing it to warm up more relative to the others.

The passenger side also has a similar radiator but that's for the charge air cooler which runs significantly cooler compared to the driver side radiator.
Thanks hellokitty. 20° seems like so much, but it is also the first time I have run consecutive 1/4 mile drags. It did stabilize slowly to the normal 10° (ish) on my way home from the track, but it also worried me. I wouldn't lie lol.
