Default Pulled tire again at Track, 10-2-09

I know its not a big deal to most, but I was very excited to get some video's that my friend Greg (SonofGTO) took of my car for me and thought I would share.

I was trying a new tune (the car is now MAF-less and such) and unfortunately I slowed down by about 3-Tenths and 4-MPH, but track prep allowed for some decent traction and I was able to get about 4 - 5" of air under the drivers front tire a few times.

Here is a crappy "screen shot" of one of the video's to give you an idea (followed by a couple video's).

I think you are discounting your self by saying it isn't a big deal. Now I know it is somewhat common at the track but not common with guys who are trying to make there car fast! I would love to lift the front end but that will probably never happen because I have a long bed truck.

Sweet vids and nice car.
