It takes finesse to cut a 1.65 60' on DR.. nice job!

Nice, I also cut a 1.64 last weekend on a 245 Nitto. I know I could have come out harder, but the track was closing and didn't run again.

with 3.23's i cut a 1.58 on 245/50/16 inch nittos stock internall

some have been 1.56's

but on a well prepped track you can cut 1.5's on nittos. Congrats!! Now go cut some 1.5's in that sucker

wow that is a great 60'! i love it how so many people think it is impossible to hook well with just 2.73 gearing but hey, it hits the tires less. it just takes a little more ability and practice.

and rob, did i hear you say something about naws?????? i might hit the bottle this winter too

2.73s rule! I like getting 28mpg on the highway.
I've cut 1.74 60ft best so far, I'm hoping to better that this weekend.
