Seat time is a must! 2.2 on Hoosiers. But not too bad for your first time. What are the mods?

what psi are the tires at? i don't know how your burn out went, but about a 8-10 second burn out in 2nd gear, should be good. launch it about 3.5-4k if you think it's moving to much for you on the back side put some more air in the tires. [patriot]

i'd at least run 16psi if you don't like a lot of moving around on the back side. but 14 is what i use most of the time.

yeah that wiggle is scary if your not ready for it. cannot remember what psi i got my et streets down to last time out, but i do remember it kind of moving around on me on the big end. you got to have a solid grip on the wheel.

Yeah walking all over the track is not fun at all. Thats what happened on my first run because I had very low psi. I got down to 16psi, but will try lower next time to hopefully get down into the 1.xx 60' range
