The first run was with 35lbs. in the rear tires. Went around the water and did a 4 second burnout. It surprised me how easy it was to spin the tires, revved right up to 5 thou, shifted to 2nd and let off the brake. Now I understand the necessity of rolling into the throttle. The 2nd. run I adjusted the tire pressure to 30 lbs. in the driver side and 28 in the passenger side rear tires. Did the same burn out. Took off soft, slipped a tad on full throttle but I was excited to see a 13 on the slip. No way to know. What is for sure is it will take lots of practice for me to learn how to launch with the Michelins. The easy way would be drag radials and if I get to be a regular at the track you can be sure they are at the top of the list. I was going to take off the grill on the 2nd. run ala Cruzin but decided I needed to launch without spinning before the quest for more speed. All in all an education for me, some fun, and lots of waiting.
