I hear there is going to be a car show and also racing. I am going to run my car as well. Never been to the track before, I heard that you have to launch our cars at a higher RPM because the track has better grip than the street. Is this true? I launch at 2k on the street, what should i launch at?. Hoping to be close to mid 15's also,
Plan to add a custom straight pipe exhaust before sunday as well

 

id probably let some air out of your tires and go to the track with a half full tank of gas. as far as launching i havent had any luck gripping when i launch about 2500. i just hop hop hop if i do.. good luck and let us know how you do

 

I launch at 2800RPM with no problems at all... I run into hoppy floppy problems @ around 3000RPM. It all depends on the track, the condition of the tires, and the condition of your car. Start in the middle (2300RPM) and if that works, bump it up a little next run. Then find the right spot for the track.

I thought are cars have the best pressure at a full tank? What PSI should i have in the tires?

 

I usually set mine at around 25PSI in the Tib at the track. As for pressure, thatt may become a factor when your really down low in the tank. Half tank shoudl be fine.

 

sounds good i hope to have some videos
