Squatting is good,just not too much.Its ideal if you can get the rear suspension firm enough so that you still get traction without the extra wasted movement from squatting too much....can't remember what your tire psi was. I believe most of us with M/T's were at 14-15psi. I've gone as low as 11psi before. You really have to get the DR's heated up. The track did get a little slick towards the end of the day. Maybe some of the 6mt guys can chime in.

Looked like you had great weight transfer to me.

You're almost pulling the front tire off the ground...

I'll go and watch and maybe I'll run when it's cold. But it's just not worth it to go and sweat your ***** off for 4 hours. Vipers are known for their great heat dissipation.....into the cabin. lol I go to the track to chill and have a good time, I'm not a serious racer. If I'm not gonna enjoy myself I won't go.

You mean VHT? Yeah they did, but I still don't know how you were spinning your DR's in 2nd. I saw one of your runs and I heard tire squeal on your 1-2 shift all the way to your 2-3 shift, I was like

Yea they prepped both lanes with the VHT, but since there wasn't alot of cars they didn't do much after that. I think they only dragged it once.

He came down for the event in September! He only had 150 shot of NO2 at the time. We have another event in November but I don't know if he's coming because he's in Georgia.

I'll race anyone, anytime!
