Why not just drive 'em to the track? it's what? 20 miles for you? After that I wouldn't drive 'em on the street but that's just me.
btw, first burnout of the day should be the biggest ![[Wink]](wink.gif) after that you're just wasting the life of 'em ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

you dont need tubes. they heat up fast so when you do burnouts on the street watchout because they spit EVERYTHING up on your paint.

Have you seen my paint? My car is gumby green, currently in the running for ugly 5.0 of the year however I think a guy with 20 inch gold Daytons might knock me out.

I ran my E.T. streets with no tubes but my boy told me that if you run the air pressure really low like around 8lb's you should have tubes or also if your car sits for a long time and its not on jacks the tires loose air pressure. As for the burnout i found that the best was a little burnout just to clean the tires. remember too much burnout makes them slippery not sticky. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
