Also slicks run in the 10-12psi range and drag radials in the 20psi range. I love how people said the same thing I did just in a different order.

I would like to know what everyone else cuts as a 60' with the method they stated. I personally have cut a 2.004 on the stock tires.

Heres another thing to, if your able to decrease the boost or load in first gear, lower it down. This will also help prevent wheel spin and better more controlled launches.

its hard to explain, you dont slam the gas, you feather it, same as you do with the clutch. With the clutch peddle you are feathering it out, with the gas you are feathering it in just abit quicker. This will prevent wheel spin.

iiunno about down there but all tracks in canada required a Snell/Dot approved helmet. You can get a helmet for like $75-100 if you are only racing. I use my motorbike helmet that cost me $450..lol.

I'd find a motorcycle shop and test fit helmets. Same size in different brands will fit differently

When is track day? You should be able to run mid 13s with some practice, and lower 13s with the driver mod and a good 60'. Let us know how you do man!

i thought the SNELL/DOT requirements update every five years, make sure your helmet is approved for 2010/2011 regulations. Guys correct me if my info isn't totally accurate but I remember hearing that last summer, hence why I delayed my purchase.
