That sounds right.. why did you take a stock car on bald tires to that track though?

Really didn't give any info on the car like model, and what mods you have done, an like what your 60's times were and your trap speed. But I really think you need a swap.

Yeah really. Every other thread is someone saying thy ran on bald tires, bad struts, and a CEL with 10 codes. If your car isn't in good shape don't take it to the track.

I dont think its stupid to take a stock hatch to the track. You could use that run as a baseline for future mods, i.e. swap.
