Re: 60 ft tips ******results*****
at first it was very tricky
1st run forgot the e brake up
2nd run when i squatted the front wheels moved paste the staging lights (i was like come on let me go come on )
i realized the slick weren't warm enough so i adjusted my e brake and could hold the burn out longer
3rd was the 1.9 60 ft
4th last run i smoked the tires good. first time i saw smoke come up the front and sides
(put a big smile on my face)

Re: 60 ft tips ******results*****
your are using second gear for the burnouts right
??
Hold rpms at 6000, went the slicks get hot enough they will drag the locked rears thru the water box.
One night at the track, I was in the last pair to run, drug the back tires all the way to the staging beams.
Ballsy little Z6 I had.
