What size and brand of tire are you running on the rear?
I found a really good "street tire" that hooks really well.
So well that I had a hard time doing a burnout at the last race.
I "used" to run a set of Cooper Zeon ZPT's 245-50-16s that had a treadwear rating of "380"... I had gotten my previous best 60' on those tires.
This time around I got a set of Cooper Zeon 2XS 245-50-16's, they are much stickier than the ZPT's, with a treadwear rating of "280" rather than "380".
The 100 point difference in treadwear rating made a HUGE difference.
First time at the track under crappy wet conditions I cut a 60' within .03 of my best 60 ever....
If you are "close" to needing tires, give a set of Cooper Zeon 2Xs's a shot, keep in mind that discount tire usually doesnt have them in stock, takes 2-3 days for them to order them.
the .76 pass and the .77 pass make me what to tell you to stop TNT and start running in the brackets!!!
once you get the 60's in check THAT CAR will be a force to be reckoned with I can assure you.
Thanks for the post, I enjoy reading other folks "trips to the track".
You ran within .1 of your best time, so all in all it looked like a decent night at the track.
What is your best 60?
Subtract the difference between your best 60, and last nights 60's...
if you are .1 off in the 60' that turns into .15 at the finish line.
with a "good 60" you probably would have KILLED your best time.
