Default first time out on slicks
i was able to click off some pretty decent passes today for my first time on slicks. It takes some getting used to driving on slicks that's for sure. After getting my 2 step to work correctly i was able to leave the line pretty hard but my car was pulling left the whole way down the track. Never did make a completely clean pass but i was pretty happy with theses 2 slips.

Sounds like fun. I'm looking forward to the day I get back to the drag strip on slicks. It will be new to me as well.

How is it? Care to share some thoughts about driving on slicks?
