Default Madness at MIR times?

the first time a ran the car at MIR last year i had a terrible time (really dont want to even post it) however it was my first race ever. yesterday i went down for midnight madness and ran a 13.03 at 109.96 in the superstreet class. i was pretty happy only because i ended up beating a POS Salleen at the end. the next run was the first round eliminations and i was disqualified for running faster than my dial time but I didnt give a **** because i made my first trip in the 12's...12.73 at 110.96. i had a question about tire psi? i have regular old stock Goodyear GSA's all the way around and was wondering what would be a good pressure for the rear when i race and does it even matter what the psi is on the front. thanks

congrats on getting in the 12's.they say to inflate the fronts to the max psi listed(less rolling resistance)and if your spinning to let air out of the rear until it hooks.hope this helps

Congrats on your times ...I ussally run about 24-25 psi in regular street tires and like 35 in the front....you might want to take your front sway bar off when at the track to help with weight transfer if its still on.
