went to the track today.....
 

here's the slips.... not too bad for opening day. track was cold, and the headwind was crazy... 20mph plus!!! traction got better after i went to the drag radials and lowered the tire pressure to 15lbs.

but those runs were @ 14 - 15psi spiking at 18-19. yes, traction owned me, but look @ the trap speed!

next time i go, i'll run the drag slicks! (G/Y 8X20X13)

high 12 traps homie. traction owns you 8)

Re: went to the track today.....
 

damn man, what is your setup? and youre only doin a 14 on drag radials a 2.3 2.4 60ft time is horrible, you shoudl be able to pull atleast a 2.0 and with your setup i'd expect atleast a mid 12 to low 12 pass with a light little crx.

Re: went to the track today.....
 

those 60' times are horrible, but those aren't 12 second traps. low to mid 13's, but not 12's. omg, i just noticed you were on dr's, how did you manage to get such shitty 60' time's? dr's are radials, as in they don't have a wrinkle wall, they're meant to run a certain amount of tire pressure, going to low does nothing but hurt you even worse b/c you're lessening your contact patch on the tire. run the suggested (maybe a few less) psi on dr's.

Re: went to the track today.....
 

it was 50 degrees out so the track was cold as hell, opening day so the track wasn't prepped much, and the headwind was nuts, once again not helping the cold track(20+mph).

not really sure what the sugg tire pressure is on yolk A0008's. any info?

i tried to feather the throttle as much as i could 1st thru 3rd.... only revving to 2500 on the launch.

Hows the block holding out? Sounds like it's good :D

Re: went to the track today.....
 

the block is ------- great!!!

i have put 1130 miles on it so far and not a problem... sunday when i went to the track i spiked to 20+ psi a couple of times but didn't notice a damn thing besides the radials screaming :-[
