Reynolds was a disappointment they forgot that their a drag strip not an ice rink. Slipperiest track I've ever been on.

I couldn't hook worth a damn out there either. I had too many variables working against me out there.

Were you guys on street tires? I went out there one time and did see a lot of cars slipping around and one hit the wall. Every other time it looked solid.

I was on BF Goodrich TDW's kinda borderline between DR and street tire, but I had success with them at that track a few months ago.

Well I ran those nitto NT05Rs. They supposed to be more stickier than the 555Rs. Even with a good burnout, I was still roasting the tires off the line.

I tried the nitto 555r's a long time ago. I heard you got to heat them up really good to work. Looks like it is time to go to a better tire. I got to figure out what size and which tire to use.

Their track prep is alot less predictable on T-N-T nights. On actual operating days it's usually a pretty sticky track.

U know what i was just thinking the same thing. On TNT, they probably dont give a damn. But on the major events, they make it sticky.

Just ordered my PST one piece drive shaft, with a GeForce 1320 billet pinion yoke. Now all I need is some inner splines, gears and axles and I'll be ready for some slicks and rev limiter launches...
