We automatic guys have it real easy.
Slicks + power boosting preloading is all we need.
Got to finally race today, for the 1st time this year.
I tried to get Mickey drag radials to work last year,
but like street tires, they suck at the track, with front wheel drive.
Times & traction were all over the place.
With slicks today, I was in the 12.7s all day, with a best of 12.69,
on my last run.
I was able to go 3 rounds today, with slicks providing the
consistency needed to bracket race...
My last run of the day in round 3 of Mod class runoffs:
My permanent Pittsburgh Raceway Park car number, is 248

Hay, I did find a video of this run from 16:45 to 17:30 in the video.
You can here the announcer say that I dialed an 12.71 , & that the left lane dialed a 11.85.
And you can here the announcer say that I had a 210 reaction time, & the other guy had a 063 & that the winner ran an 11.95

Limit straps keep the front end from lifting up. The peewee footballs keep the rear from going down. It levels out the car on a lunch so there is no weight tranfer. Here's what the limit straps look like.
