Default Went to the track tonight....new best

Sup guys, tonight I went to the track. Got to use the NT555R's...I really love these. I can accually hit 2nd gear without spinning lol.
These are my top 3 runs

3rd
60 Foot - 1.990
1/8 - 8.724 @ 81.06
1/4 - 13.533 @ 102.77

2nd
60 Foot - 2.092
1/8 - 8.73 @ 81.93mph
1/4 - 13.507 @ 103.28

Best Run
60 - 1.934
1/8 - 8.629 @ 81.45
1/4 - 13.408 @ 103.10

.009 from cracking a 13.3. I was very very impressed with my times. And the NT555R's were at 30psi. I could have dropped them to like 26psi but I didnt want to have more "rolling resistence"

I didnt get any videos, no one came up with me. I should have done like 2 more runs, my trap speed was picking up, but I didnt want to kill the tires.

EDIT:

Also, I had just over a 1/2 tank. Put to much gas in my tank

Really that low? Wouldnt that hurt my trap speed? 18psi on tires will cause more rolling resistence. Because its not like M.T with a thicker sidewall. Thats what I figured, but Im probally wrong lol

On your drive wheels, you don't have to worry about rolling resistance as much. I typically run 18lbs in my BFG's, but to get the Nittos to grip on my car, I used to run 16lbs. Again, it all depends on the track, temp, and prep. I typically start at 20psi with a new setup, and work my way down until I get the best traction. The only thing that kind of gets crazy is at 16lbs or below, you get a little wobble on the top end from the rear tires. But the traction gain is definately worth it.

Yea true. I was at 30psi most of the night. I just put it in 2nd, dropped the clutch at like 3,500rpm and got the tach at like 5500-5800rpm and let them bake for a good 10 seconds. Untill I could taste burnt rubber...lmao.

Im going up Wednesday, but most likley no drag radials I doubt Ill get better than a 13.4 with street tires
