Going to the 1/8th mile Tonight....
 
Yea theres a big street racing night going on at music city raceway tonight at 8:00. Its just like street racing. There trying to get people like me off the street and onto tracks. There are no times shown on the boards and the timeslips are seperated to keep other people from seeing what you ran. Theres just a start then a finish light. Any suggestions for me tonight. What tire pressure with the street tires? I have no bottle heater. How can I heat it up tonight? Ill have some octane booster in it to keep everything happy. It seems like it runs faster with some octane booster in it. I will try lowering my tire pressure kinda low because it wont hook unless I do. I was thinking maybe 15-20psi. I will try to remember to get a bag of ice to put on it between runs also. Im hoping for maybe low 8's tonight. This will be the first time I run at a 1/8th mile with the new setup. Ill post my times tomorrow.

there is no reason to go that low on a street tire. just lower it till the tire is getting wear all the way across it something like 25-28 should do the trick just fine.

Same here. I ran my best sixty foots at 20 psi on street tires, any lower and they would start to cup.
18-19 on my Nitto dr's.
12 on my slicks.
Good luck tonite!
