Default Me playing with a couple of SRT's

I got this footage last time I hit the track on December 14th. It was a cold windy day, but still got some decent times. Still not as fast I know it can go.

How much faster can you go? Why the long smokey burnouts with street tires (you mentioned in the video/comments)?

I usually just dust my street tires off, they don't have the compound that gets sticky if you heat them. Good runs though, I bet with some 1.8-1.9 sixty foots you can be damn close to the 12s.

You guys have no idea. It is pretty much a back yard. Track prep? lol!
The long burnout is a product of excessive water in the box... or rather the entry way to the lanes. There is NO avoiding the massive ammounts of water. Its more of a drying the tires off than a cleaning.
On a good track with my occasional 106 traps I expect high 12's even on streets.
