A night at the track

My first run it was fairly cool and traction was not very good. I spun off the line each time. But compared to my last runs a couple months ago I improved.

That's only the second time I've been to the track. My last best time was 15.0. How do I get the 60' time down???

It takes PRACTICE.
I usually lower my front tires to 24 PSI. You have to find that fine line of spin vs. bog. The track has to be properly prepared also.
Good times anyway!

Yeah it was fairly cool the wouldn't let anybody run with slicks. Most people were spinning off the line.
