We are hoping to step it up Labor Day since we "think" we have solved the traction problem. We'll see. this set-up is way different than anything we have done before.

. Front 3; rear 6; tire pressure 17-17.5lbs. I have cut my burn-outs to about 1-2 second. These are also the same tire that put the SS on the rear bumper.
Here's a footbrake pass. Nothing special about our little country track. I do know nothing can save the track when the track temp is hot - we have seen 140-155 track temps.

I wish it would have gone better for you.

I wish the tracks near me would prep properly. I should have said my local tracks suck and not the tires lol
Good luck David.

Tom what really started me on these tires, was a certain suspension expert ( ), put them on one our super bracket racer's car ( 
) at Thunder Shootout a couple years ago. They were an immediate help. Been with them since.
Tom it sucks that your track mangement can't prep a track. It is pure laziness/cheap on their part. Our's is a very small track, that get very small car counts, but they still learned how to prep a track right. To bad we only have 2 weekends left this year

You would do just fine - not as a slower but at least an equal replacement.

I wish I lived closer. Would love to meet up the LS1 Tech crowd again - only one I have been able to make is the Thunder in Nov 2004. God that is 2 years ago already. With gas prices and 800+miles in each direction, just not in the cards right now.
Good luck to you guy.
David
Good luck to you guy.
