MysticZ28,

I run my goodyear front runners at 45lbs to start with but if Iam hitting the tree real hard(red lights from 490's to 485) I will add 2to 3 pounds to help with my lights(50's to 5 teens). <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I hope this helped. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

Coach, would you mind sharing your thoughts on the method you just mentioned? i would think adding air would shorten your reaction time, and taking air out would increase it?

Here is the deal. When I stage the Hot Rod I go in as shollow as possible. If I am hitting the tree real hard and red light with say 490's to 485. I will add a few pounds of air pressure to the front tires to make the tires bigger which slows down my reaction time just a little.(I will cut 5 teen lights when I do this). This works for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I hope this helps ya'll out.

Later,
Coach
