Default Going to the track tonight!

Well, the weather looks really good for tonight, so I think I'm gonna see what she runs now. I took her out a couple weeks ago on street tires. Best was a 13.1 @ 107 w/ 2.03

I picked up some ET Streets to get that 60 down. Hopefully with a good launch, and good weather, I should see 12's for the first time.

And you could only muster up 1.983 short time? Hell, I could better than that with stree radials and IRS.

If you could drop that 60' (which I'm sure you can with M/T ETs) you should be in mid 12s or even lower.

yea, but the car was kinda spinning bc I had the ET's at 20psi, do I need to lower them any more? Or just heat them up alittle longer?
