I run my MT ET's at 13 lbs. You can grab a silver sharpie or paint marker then put a line on the rim/tire. Keep lowering the psi by a pound and make sure that the tire isnt spinning on the rim. If the notch is moving a lot, then you will probably need to add more psi. Im guessing youll run a 13.3 or 13.4 on your best ET. -Jon

Since it's your first time at the track, I'll say you'll average around low 14's and high 13's with a best of a mid/low 13.

Good luck!

What track???

with street tires dont do a big burnout, spin to clean is all u need.

Pressure 25ish is usually about the lowest u want on a street tire.

I'm not trying to brag but im pretty good with racing from a light with my reaction time... And i would say ehhh because of all the video games / simulators / light to light racing. But i know its totally different and thats why I have waited for so long to go.

and the track is esta in cicero new york

Mid 14s on the first couple of runs and high 13s before you pack up and go home.

how old are you?

i think that your goal should be to run in the high 13s, but who knows...some people just have it right off the bat...or a little beginners luck, and you could see 13.50s?

LOL I'm not trying to blow out your candle. But take a quick little pole of everyone in this street & strip section that had a "great" first time experience at the strip vs. "a man I thought I would be alot better and I'm disapointed" experience. I think you'll be suprised at the amount of wow it's harder than it looks responses you get. But I hope you do have a great first outing. Doesn't matter if you suck or if your great because after the first time down the 1320 you'll be hooked.
