went to the track last night I couldn't get traction no matter what I tried. 1st run I take off without stalling and spin so bad that I run an 11 on the 1/8. Then I stall it to 1500 after heating up the tires and put the truck on 3rd gear and it spins 3/4 of the track but still gets a 10.2. I got pissed off but decided to do one last run with more weight, less tire pressure and a little nitrous. I loaded up my brother and set my window switch to 4000-5700 so that I wouldn't loose traction I by anychance it hooked with less tire pressure. The last run was 9.37 @ 79 with a 2.4 60 ft time. I am positive that with slicks I will reach my goal of running a 8 sec pass at the 1/8 and 13 sec time slip at the quater.

the best way i found to launch on street tires is stall it to about 2000 and just let off the brake let the truck roll a bit then walk into it hard.i was able to pull a 1.81 60" with toyto proxes 31" tall.

I tried my luck out on the 1/8 again and still the same results even with 15 psi on the tires. Best run was a 9.36 @ 79 with 2.37 60 ft against another member from here that ran a 9.18 @ 77 with a 2.23 60 ft. Gonna start working on traction with some slicks and caltracks.
