[QUOTE="SoldierSnake, post: 12269083, member: 84208"] Gents, This Friday evening I will head to a local 1/4 mile track to see what my car can do. Does anyone have any lessons learned or best practices when running one of these things on street tires? RPM launch? Tire pressure? etc. Thanks for the input.
