Finally got a chance to hit the track

hawkm3 · 02-15-2015, 11:45 AM

Finally got a chance to hit the track yesterday and I was pretty happy with the time I got, 12.5 @ 112mph, my biggest issue was getting traction as I'm nitto nt555 street tires and since it was valentine's day the track was dead so I got alot of passes in lol

How much power are you putting down? and 6mt or 6at?

1.9 is good for street tires and with our cars. I like those days when you can make as many runs as you want.

Those Nittos are good tires unless they're worn down or just bad prep at the track. But that is a good time and sounds like you had fun, which is key.

Very nice pass. MPH is perfect for your ET which means you launched and drove the car very well.

If you get DRs (Like a Nitto 555R) you would potentially drop a tenth at the 60' and maybe .3-.5 at the big end.

If you don't mind me asking, at which track did you make your passes?
