technically burning out with street tires doesn't help that much. gets a little extra heat and cleaner surface. most street tires don't have the right compound for that. so in the end a big standing smoky burnout is irrelevant with street tires.

and yes FL tracks are downhill into the ocean lol sea level dwelling bastards.

I should go down and visit and beat you all

I thought that too, but my consistent lower 1/4 mile and 60 ft time says otherwise. I tested out both ways on the same night and it drops my 60ft under 2 and shaves 3/10 sec

depends on which street tires you run. some geared more toward autox/track use have different compounds that do take a bit better to lots of heat. most street tires will get greasy with too much heat.

I too have gotten slightly better 60ft with some heat but honestly it comes down to track prep. if theres lack of grip in general from the track tires don't hook like you want.

who you kidding I cant break a 13 around me. partly due to running with terrible DA and actually the 2 tracks by me actually go uphill I swear lol

the one my best is 13.001 at the other is 13.012

I went to a different track and had good DA that day to bust a 12.89

PA is weird in the summer its super hot and humid. I should do more spring/fall runs but anymore I know what the car does and I go for fun with friends.

however.......I may throw some DR's on and shoot to bump my place in the standing back up to top 5 rather than 8 now.
