My first time at the track here at Topeka drag way on Friday night.
Couldn't get a grip at all; it rained Monday-Friday morning and it was the grand opening, so no real rubber was laid down.
Put my rear tires (275/40 NT555r) at 27 psi and best I could muster was a 2.1 60 ft.
Slippery doesn't begin to describe it.
Not to mention every gear shift my tires broke looose, (even 3-4).
I'll wait until some more runs are made done the track and bringing DRs with me next time.
Forgot to attach the slip
Friend's girlfriend took a rough video from her phone. Listen to the tires break loose during the 3-4 shift. That's how slippery the track was. Horrible. Im in the far lane, near lane is a S197.
