Default 1.49 60' on QTP's

Thanks to everyone here who has posted good things about the Hoosier QTP's (which persuaded me to buy them). I ran my 27x10.5-15's at the track for the first time on Saturday and ran a 1.52, then a 1.49 60' times. Both lanes of the track got oiled during the day and I only managed mid 1.5's for the remainder on the day (was spinning slightly). I ended up using 15psi in them.... I can explain how good that 1.49 felt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I ran a best of 10.66 @ 125mph. Not bad for a 3540 lb car. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Thanks Chris, A4 3800 stall (Supra) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Kinda sucks about launching a Supra is it doesn't pull the fronts off the ground even with a 1.49 60'.
