Re: First Timer with RWD at the Dragstrip!
Well Saw, I just so happed to have launched on the same tire Saturday at Valdosta. I decided to run in street trim a couple times before I put on my ET Streets. Had same burnout problem from not holding the brake long enough. Used 2nd gear and dumped at 4800 for burnout. First run was about a 2.22 sixty and all spin, second I got a good burnout and got a 1.8 sixty launching at 1800 rpm and pressing into the peddle (not too fast) with a 11.8 @ 124 (roughly, don't have slip with me, I'm at work) Third was back to a 2.20 sixty with wheel hop, spin and getting my butt handed to me by a big block, 4200 lb Mercury.
Changed to ET Streets with 12lbs of air and launched at 6500 and 5500 and still couldn't get better that a 1.81 sixty. Ran a 11.5 @ 124...still some spin, actually started a little sideways in second gear. Track was apparently not prepped very well because of being street night.
Try some ET Streets instead of those Nitto's. I bought a set of front 17" Zo6 rims for the back. Good Luck. Pit-man
