Default Another first time track case...

hi guys. Im going to the track soon with a dozen turbo guys in the CT area. This is my first time running on a track. I have a 94 civic coupe with roughly 250+ whp and i am running on falken azenis... traction sucks... Is it worth spinning them, or is it just a waste of tire...? What psi would i want to run at? The track will be prepped pretty well, and it's going to be nice and cool out. I think ill be able to judge a good launch after a run or two, but i was just curious as to what i can do to optimize my traction.

psi... tire's or boost. daily, i run at 7-8 psi, track... i bring it to 10-11. tires, i keep them at about 35 psi, never let pressure out for anything. How much should I let out when i run the car? too little will give me less traction, to much will give me too much resistance...
