God knows what my drag pressures are, its been so long.

Autoxing, and prolly road racing, I was running 40-45psi in the fronts for a crisp turn in and 38psi in the rear and was geting oversteer with the new rubber. Also noticed that the car handled really really nuetral at 9/10's, to the point where I had throttle steer over the rear end, and back to understeer when the limits were exceeded.

25 in front and 43 in rear for drag. I really liked the way this worked out for me.

you guys also need to remember that these runs are done in a parking lot with very little traction available. also we are running slightly up hill.
my car seemed to be able to launch easier with the stock steelies but my times weren't any better. my best was the same as last time....11.7
me and faraco3 are probably not gonna race again until i have my engine swap and he has done more mods. that way we can show up and kick some butt.8D

Yeah only with a rocket strapped to my car would it run a 10.4 1/4.

Rubenz and I will be back but like he said we need to do more things. After the things are finished we will be back to kick some butt.

Rubenz, you better tell the Auto Tibs to look out..... :
