dont do a burn out on street tires. all ur doing is heating the tires up and making the oil in the thread rise up on top the tire. so at launch ur gonna spin.

He said he had drag radials in the back. You wanna drive around the water box then back into the box & do a small burn out. Dont do anything to show off just somthing to heat them up.

Go on the last yellow, dont worry about red lighting just when you see the last yellow light go launch it. if you get a reaction time under 1 second you did pretty good. Under .5 is considerd pro.

Also practice your launch out somwere with no traffic around. rather you have a manual or a automatic you can launch both, but you want parctice so you dont end up spinning the tires too much.

I thought you started at 25 psi and worked from there, ask the guys at the track what they would put in the tires.
