First Time Drag Racing!

congratulations for going 10`s the first time out! concerning traction, before you try any suspension changes, just try better burnouts. could you lower the rear tire pressure? i understand this is not a race-only car and that is why i wouldnt touch the suspension yet. one more thing: take it easy on the return road, keep it for going down the track!

I tried tire pressure down to 19. From what I've been told, it can get sketchy with that tire below that pressure and that it could make traction issues worse. I'lllhave to play with it in the spring. One problem at the beginning was short burnouts. But by the end of the day when my burnouts were longer, it was getting too cold to make much difference at that point I believe. I've seen a Satellite on YouTube that runs the same tires that pulls big wheelies and runs 9s so I know with the right setup the tires can hold. But I'll still probably pick up a set of Hoosier slicks to run anyhow. Just need to find a set of cheap wheels that will fit.
