Default first runs

had my first runs ever this weekend at NED. best time was a 13.54 @ 106.xx

most of the time i was running a 14.0 cuz i havent figured out how to launch yet. i was mostly getting hideous 60' times of like 2.6 , except my 13.54 run, i got a 2.3 second 60'

i will be needing more practice... pronto. if i had a clue what i was doing, i would think i could be running low 13's with more practice.

ok, well is a 2.0 60' a reasonably attainable time with street tires? (KDW's) i dont really have the funds to get a 2nd set of wheels and tires for track duty, nor do i want to really use drag radials as daily driver tires.

yes and no
it will come at the cost of replacing more clutches. youll have to slip it more so not to spin to bad but it is a reachable spot
dr's arent bad on the street at all ive had my nittos well over 120 with no issues at all even in the rain i havent had any issues and if your easy on them you can get 20000mi outta a set including some track use. best part is all you have to do is air down , run air up and your on your way

i had better luck with drag radials, and they last longer then 3,000 like everyone says, i had them for probably 6k and passed them on to a kid who put atleast 2k on them.
same with tim, his old ones we just changed, hell B-Man had 5k on them and sold them to tim who put atleast 2k on them, that was with lots of passes on them, and they hook better.
But yes, 2.0 is doable even with the tires you have. when i was bolt on, my car would 1.9-20 on a treated track. with KDWS's same size and similar mods as you.
