If you look in my thread there is some info on this subject.

Where you are milan? If you did and this was your first time to the track, you probably don't need drag tires. It was cold and slick wed. I spun like crazy and never have had a single problem. So don't jump to conclutions that you need slicks if this is the case.

Ok just curious. Why don't you go to Milan? Track is usualy good and I have gotten 7-8 passes event with 300+ cars in a night. They run every wed. If your location is correct you aren't far away.

Gotcha. I am going back to Milan on the 21st incase you are looking to go to the track. Sounds like you will kick my *** but it is always cool to know someone at the track.
