The track was shitty, it had rained during the afternoon and they still opened it up, but there was muddy grass and puddles of water on the lanes to line up. I paid to run b/c i wanted to see what i can do with the drag radials for the first time. Well, i sucked with them, but i didnt lower the tire pressure either so that didnt help much. Here are some of my runs: Reaction: 0.824 0.674 1.07 0.702 0.735 60ft: 2.2 2.4 2.4 2.5 2.6 594: 8.553 8.783 0000 0000 0000 mph: 81.08 80.79 0000 0000 0000 time: 9.108 9.343 9.400 9.497 9.624
I bogged some of the launches, hence the high 60ft times. I was running 14psi but spiking to 16psi in 1st gear. I had my drag tire pressure at 25 which is still a little high. I will get into the 8's, but i want to do with 13psi and learn to launch with these tires. I want 2.0 60ft times.

I am gonna try and go again soon, i will lower my pressure to 18-20 and run again. Hopefully i will get a 2.0-2.1 60ft and the track is prepped better. They didnt even keep water in the pit to heat the tire up.

well, I heard of one guy with a RS who hit the 10s (9s too?)....
