I was there, in my 90 Lincoln Mark VII. I got into the 13's for 4 passes. my last pass I ran a 13.835@102.102 and broke out on a 13.9 dial-in.
60' times were consistiently 2.1's
reaction times were .007 to .210 ave of .122.
It was nice to meet you Dustin and your 68 Stang.
I miss my '66 coupe. ![[Frown]](frown.gif) Especially since it was about 1,000 lbs lighter.
Hello to anyone else who I meet there.
Tomorrow I'm off to get it dyno tuned! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I think it's a common fact that bias ply tires and radials are going to track differently and give you some top end sway that could be mistaken for fish tailing. I wouldn't call it a rookie excuse. I just think if you r new to end u will notice it and not know what it is

yeah, im sure it's a rookie thing. im use to riding around on 40 series..lol.. but also having the drum brakes make me feel a little uncomfortable on top. just ordered some 13" rotors and calipers, so that problem will be fixed.. next is new steering box and roller cam.

Honestly, the best way to get use to the feeling of the back of your car "walking around" when on slicks is to drive to the track on them. You will feel all the groves in the road with the rear tires, but not the fronts due to the weak bias ply side walls of the slicks. Over a little time you will get the feel of what is going on and start correcting for it. The reason I think its best to get use to this on the highway is that you are at speed, but not necessarily excelerating hard. It lets you get a feel for what is going on at a little slower pace.

I have yet to run slicks on the track also. When you get the feeling that the rear end is walking around at high speeds is there anything you are supposed to do differently? Get off the gas? counter steer? or does it just feel like something is happening but really isn't?
