Hitting the track this weekend

Hope I do better than I did stock. I've been a much better driver at FWD so I hope that improves in my 60 ft. Anyone recommend a tire pressure to run at?

Keep us posted! I can't remember what psi I ran mine at, but just don't go so low that the tire "cups" in the center. Try different psi's, all tracks are different in what the tires can handle. There's a lot of variables, just find what works for you, and no need to do a big smoking burnout, just a quick spin to get a little heat and clean debris off.

I like to keep my tire pressure the same as I run on the street. That I know exactly how I perform when somebody pulls up next to me at a light. I also think it'll help you to get better with the launch which can make a big difference from a light. Good luck and I hope you get where you want with your ETs.

Well I might be screwed by the weather because a storm might come in. I'll post up the situation. :)
