Default first run at the track with my TA

took it to bowlingreen. beach bend.


my first run was a 14.9@103 LOL. i also had a 3.0 60ft. i had got sideways with this crappy tires.


my 5th and last run of the day was my best. 13.6@104 with a 2.3 60ft...

so in the end these DORAL TIRES BLOW I COULDNT NOT LAUNCH WORTH ANYTHING i had to slowly go into it every single time. but im happy. with some decent tires not even radials i should be in the 13.4 range stock with my vert.

By the title it's a T/A
Not a bad last run, keep practicing and get some tires, and you might even get the time down a bit more

i had a GXP. ran 13.9 in it. now i have a Trans am. its an A4.


yea trust me people the first time yea it was my right foot. anxiety. but these tires are CRAP. their some cheap econnomy tires. the dealer put on. their allseason/winter tires.

i also had half a tank of gas. so i figure i drop 60ft to a 2.0 to 2.1 which is fairly feasble with just better tires. and show up with 1/4 tank of gas. should be enough to drop me into the 13.4 range. which is excelent for a convertible i think.
