I havnt been able to source out a set of hooziers in time.. whats the best way to launch on normal tyres? wat psi should I run in the rear? should I take off in 2nd? or just slowly put it down in 1st and wait til 2nd to smash it?

Guest Spinifex Guests Posted 09/01/09 04:04 AM Share Posted 09/01/09 04:04 AM Plus 1 for not going to low with tyre pressure. I dropped the pressure in the stock XR6 tyres I ran at the drags, and it felt gumby as hell driving out there, I don`t think I went under 22 psi either. It felt friggin` dangerous as sh!t.My weather predicts are usually spot on, so I`ll STFU.Steve-o! I got that letter too." Dear Racer " heh...
