Default Just got back from Palmdale...

Best time I got was 15.0 @ 92MPH with a 2.2 60ft time. Setup is 92 hatch w/ gsr motor (intake/exhaust). Tires: 13'' vx wheels w/ bald stock tires. I'm still surprised I was able to pull off a 2.2 60ft. Spin like crazy when I shift into 2nd, as well as mad wheel hop. I think it's time to upgrade the wheel/tire combo. What do you guys recommend? What times do you think I'll be pulling off at a "good" track?

Nice time.....

Go with a light weight rim and the stickiest street rubber you can get. I would think you can hit mid 14's , if you can drive.....

More traction! I can see that you were have the main traction problems after the 60 ft right?

What kinda 15s would you recommend? I want something that's subtle....to help with the sleeper look.

When can you race @ Carlsbad?
