Popped Dragstrip Cherry
I finally got out there during a private rental and had a blast! I think I'm hooked! I got 19 runs in before I was out of gas. How did I do for what little mods, etc. that I have? I didn't get a vid of my best time but I did get my second best which was 13.78.
Here are some vids and a pic of my timeslip (I'm the Grey New Edge GT):

I definitely will have better tires next time. Those Sumitomos don't hook for ****. I tried dropping the pressure down to 15psi and smoking the tires for a few seconds and it didn't really help. Thanks for the input!
yea heating street tires wont do anything for your times, you'll probably end up going slower
Thanks for the advice!!! I'll prolly go a couple more times this year. Not a weekly or monthly thing (too expensive!). I think I will definitely get some better tires and maybe some control arms before the next outing!

Lowering street tires to 15psi? Brave man. Foolish, but brave.
