Hey guys. Some of you saw me at the track last night and I (along with everyone else) was having serious traction problems. I talked to my sisters boyfriend and he told me not to do a burnout out before the run, because it wont help at all on a street tire. Well the only problem I have with that is, arent you looking for a warm tire so you dont burn? Ive done power brakes off the track before and afrterwards the tires would stick to an ice skating rink! So I was confused. Of course I didnt listen to him and ran a best time of like 14.223 @ 97 spinning all of first and chirping second! I was getting very frustrated because I did 4 runs that were 14.2's and I spun each time. Any suggestions? Is he full of hot air?
