For some odd reason I ran my quickest times in my formula on street tieres @ osw. I neverk new why people complained but ofcourse now I do. Usually though it is only one side of the track that is always more slippery than the other. I might be going out there tonight as well.

if you had a better tire, you'd pull a low 12 with that mph.

When I was going over to OSW, I always found the left lane to be much less sliuppery than the right. Not sure if that is still the case, I have't been out there in alomst 2 years.

I could have pulled a low 12 with 110mph?? Whats funny is when I first started running at the track I used slicks and only managed a 12.93. I also dont think I knew how to do a good burn out then and maybe I oculd have done better. The 12.71 was done on kuhmo's and in the winter @ night . I sold the formy to my friend andh ave the Chevelle now.

Anyways, I have found both to be slippery, but amazingly enough, and I have it on video, one night the left lane was really bad, I was running mid 14's and 15's, no traction at all. Now I always try to use the right side.
