Default 1st 4 races in my 95 formula(3-1)

I have a 95 Formula 6spd with a Moroso CAI, Richmond 4.10's, NGK plugs, moroso 8mm plug wires, and a fresh tune up on the 160k motor(still runs super strong), i also have a NOS dry kit(bottle empty during all races), my tires are showing metal btw and the spin really bad so i have alot of trouble hookin up through 3rd gear but anywayz here goes...
-97 Cobra(bolt ons and a chip), we went for about a 35roll and by about 70 i had him by a good 2 cars...he proceeded to smile and get off the next exit
-2003 Mustang GT(intake work and flowmasters, automatic)...2 races from dead stop...1st i launch better but have to keep feathering the throttle all the way to 3rd so obviously he gets me, 2nd race i have him by about car by the top of 2nd and miss 3rd.....twice hehe...so yea worse two losses ever
-2006 Mazda 6 Mazdaspeed(with boost controller and ricer guages)...3 races...1st from 40 roll, he pulls me by about 1/2 to 110 then i pull even at 120 then we had to shut down due to stop sign rapidly approaching...2nd from dead stop...went on 3rd horn ,he beeped, i pulled him about 4 1/2 cars by about 4k into 3rd...3rd race from dead stop i spun through 2nd and alittle in third although stayed even but again with the stop sign...
1994 z28 camaro(stock as far as i can tell) 1 race from about 35 i pulled him by about 2-3 cars by about 85...

so tell me what u guys think remember i have no tires and not spraying during any of these....

Metal showing through ? The only time I drove with metal showing through was in my 85 Camaro. The front tires were gone and I didn't do it for long. I went through some rain and couldn't seem to steer my car exactly how I wanted to, so After I about run myself off the road and poopping my pants at the same time, I stopped driving it untill new tires could be added. Good Kills.

going 120 with metal showing on your tires isn't very intelligent but nice kills

Get something better then nittos. MTs get my vote.

Good kills, though, pretty stupid, consider yourself lucky and I wouldn't go racing around with the metal showing on the tires anymore.

Yeah, LT1s live in the long term. Had mine up to 120k before I wrecked mine.

Kills sound right. Get new tires.
