Gonna get out this Wed to test those M/T streeties...
After advice on
Burnout/no burnout???
Revs at launch???
Slip or side step clutch???
My B18CR has stock LSD and with microtech can run up to 9200rpm.
Should I try a 2500rpm street launch on this track with these tyres or go for a high rpm wheel-spinning launch. After a 2.0 or better 60 ft to see what it will result in!
OK, had enough of these street slicks... Axle-tramp thru 1st gear whether 3000, 6000, or 7200rpm. Guys at the track suggest solid engine mounts or that poly-stuff you pour in, traction bars or diff suspension setup. I think I'll just waive the white flag and be happy with knowing a mid 13 is possible if I had more money!!!!!!!
I got consistent (but ugly!) 2.25 - 2.35 60 ft times and ran a few 14.1's and two 14.4's with gear changing stuff-ups! Still haven't matched my previous times on Toyo street tyres! Maybe 205/50/15 is too tall for the gearing of the car? I don't know! Top end is similar with street or M/T tyres at 98 - 99mph.
Who wants to buy a pair of near new Mickey T Streeties on Starcorp 15's??? Will Ebay them this week prob.
Saw beeza on way home
No other h cars there but a real good mix otherwise. Obviously a lot of people for whom cars rate a lot higher than football - like me!

We ran BFG Drag radial in the past , 205/50/15 @ around 13-15 psi
Best 60ft was 1.79 sec. Not that easy to launch on drag radial.
We got traction bar and hasport engine mounts on it.
Its all about practice and finding a sweet spot to launch it off the line.

Agreed. Ive managed consistant 2.0 60 ft on street tyres 195 / 55 / 15's . Dont be so eager to get off the line to the point where you wheel spin half way down the track, find the sweet spot!
Suspension setup / mounts etc plays a big big role when it comes to putting power down and quick times.
