Just bought a set of Nitto drag radials for the '65 just wondering if you guys had any tips for my first use at the track. Burnouts- how long, in first or second gear? What kind of tire pressure do you usually run? Any information you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated.

most people like 20psi and a smokey 2nd gear burnout, but i do 25psi and a 5 second 1st gear brakestand and they work pretty good.
