Car feels lose up top at the track I recently started to run ET streets with 15 psi at the track and i noticed that after the 1/8th mile the car seems really lose and almost shakey not like when ive made passes on my nittos. Any ideas? Too low a tire pressure?

Re: Car feels lose up top at the track maddboost,
Get used to it, its the nature of the beast. Try running on 11 psi
all drag tires do that, when you put skinnies on the front it even get more entertaining.
Eventually it will become second nature to you

Re: Car feels lose up top at the track I say air-down to 10 psi and hold on.It is a very weird feeling the first couple times.Just keep it straight and you'll be okay.

Re: Car feels lose up top at the track Are you running skinnies on the front? I have heard that if you are running radials on the front, and ET Streets or Drags on the back, the car will feel loose at the top end. Skinnies will help this. And, as stated above, try ~10lbs
