    Ditto on all of the above. A short burnout doesn't work for me but I don't have to do a show-off one either. Just a moderate burnout, definitely gotta heat em up, and I'm good. (y)

    LOl I could just hit mine till they smoke and it hooked fine. I think i could hook on no burnout actualy. Im thinking i may try Hoosier radials next time thou.

    i just got some m/ts. i have not put them on the car yet. what tire pressures are you guys running when driving on the street and on the track. also if you could reference your 60 ft time and 1/8 or 1/4 mile time. this way i have a good starting place and will know if you cars performace is similar to mine.

    I ran 15 in mine. And my 60's were off some because of tune but it was 1.60 or so, pretty consistent.

    Mine pulls 1.4 60 ft. I run anywhere from 18 to 21 pounds, I have them on 8.5 inch wheels. The last pass i ran in 08 it went 6.50 in the 1/8 mile.

    My best was 6.97 with a 1.61 60 ft. I was running 19 lbs in the tires. Getting ready to go play again probably next week. Gotta work on those 60 ft times. Kinda tuff with a 4 speed but it's fun. :)
