I might be free this Friday night, I won't have my stickies - but I do have a couple Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's I can run on.

I'll be lucky to see a 13.9 with how hot it'll be Friday.

Something's definitely wrong there, you could do a wicked burnout down the track and trap higher than that. I'd like to see a video, I'm really not sure what's going on.
