Stalled A4 w/o DR's?
 
I'm kind of chomping at the bit to get some racing in....no tracks around me here in Little Rock. I saw that Memphis is having a TNT Tuesday night. Is it worth trying to race this car without DR's. My best time before the stall was 12.98 at 107.7. Would I be able to run faster without the DR's or is it going to be a waste of time? DR's will be coming soon, but not quite yet. I have BFG KDWS right now which always hooked fine before the stall, but with a 2.5 STR, it's gonna be hell on them for sure. Any advice? Thanks.

Waste of time trying to run at Memphis TnT on Kdw's. The track prep at Memphis is usually pretty bad, although you can find nights where cars are hoooking but its usually the other way around.

I would just wait for the DR's and even then It might be a challenge to get out of the hole with that st3500 and DR's.

Good Luck

Not what I wanted to hear......but what I expected to hear. Oh well, maybe I'll just go and watch.

Yeah for sure, dont get me wrong Memphis Motorsports park is a great place to race and watch, they are just lacking in the Track prep area.

But there are always nice cars there. Tuesday is the night you go to actually test and tune since there isn't that many cars that night. Thursday is the night to go if you are wanting to watch, because the staging lines can get pretty long sometimes and a little time consuming.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll go up there Thursday then.

Come on man!! If you are going to make the trip you might as well run her. Feather it a little bit until you hook up and then see what she runs...

The Shift Extension should help you once you are moving.

Well I might have a set of DR's from a buddy....if that's the case, me and another guy will be heading over tomorrow for some fun. I'd like to see some mid-12's at least.
