For the street races, fill your winshield washer fluid bottle with vht trackbite. Route the hoses in front of your tires. Spray durning your burnout to lay a couple hot sticky patches to backup into...

No, I'll keep the tires on it now for daily driving, like I said this is just Fri/Sat nights + at the strip on weekends.

all i can see is expensive or cheap summer tires that don`t last too long or long lasting all season that i don`t think will do too good on cornering :S

Pretty much, but ---- cornering, I need to hookup in a straight line. I've heard good things about the Azenis, they're probably the stickiest thing going short of full race tire.

------- genius, but VHT doesn't mention how long the trackbite needs to sit for it to be effective, personal experience proves it works or were you throwing out ideas?

Azenis are absolute garbage! You hear they are great from people in the sub 200hp range. I had them, hated them and were ---- in the rain almost dangerous infact. I could roast them off through 2nd and squak them hard in 3rd. I just got rid of them for a set of BFG G-force KDW's and these tires do infact GRIP! At 300whp they can barely break them loose at the top of second (full spool) and nothing in 3rd. Great tires well worth the pricetag. They kick ass in the rain too.

No, I hear that from the fastest auto-x guys around these parts, and I wouldn't be driving the tires in the rain.

Don't get me wrong they had great lateral grip but straight line sucked. Ask your autox buddies that.

Yeah, probably.

What kind of 60' times are you cutting with the BFGs?

not race car tires by any means, but i have some toyo proxes 4 on my car right now and they're pretty damn good in corners and really awesome in the rain.
