Sonic!

Still breaking my tires in. http://youtu.be/IMjgPPQtqds
My 12.1 pass hopefully it will do better with the new injectors. 2nd gear burnout in the box to heat em up.

Ok so to answer your question about tire break in, All pro racers down to bracket racers season there tires, one way to learn this is to call M/T and simply ask what they recommend for break in, or when you get to the track and are rolling through the burn out box or it's also called the water box, roll through the box up onto the flat but still where the track is still wet maybe 1 or 1 1/2 feet out of the box, not on the dry, now start a controlled burn out, spin the tires till you see the smoke start to roll or the first wisp of smoke, count to three, thousand one, thousand two, thousand three, now roll out of the gas and clutch it, if you do a John Force boiling hot long burn out to impress your friends, you have successfully changed the composition of the rubber and when it cools the rubber will start to harden and no mater what you do to that tire to bring back the sticky the tire is done, that's if your serious about et consistency. You may say but look at the burn outs that Funny cars and Top Fuel Dragsters do, yup now we are talking about a different tire and they have a life span of maybe 4 to 6 passes, then they are done, if you go to a National Event such as Gainesville in the spring go to the Goodyear tire trailer, they will probably give you a Nitro tire for free as a souvenir, just know it will have a hole in the sidewall. Hmm I see I got of track, If you want to do a big rolling smoke burn out for fun, do it just before you put on some new skins. Have fun and be safe.

My brake works great!

[defprun]

Its dead!? wtf!

[bhazard]

How well does your parking brake work? I never had a working one and now that I do my cars dead

Those look to be Mickey Thompson Slicks, they are a good choice, so here is my .02 cents, the first time you do a burn out will determine how well the tires will work for the rest of their life, so good luck and have fun. I look forward to seeing your time slips, R/T's 60's and ET's

Yes they are m/t e/t drag slicks. Soo sticky, what do you think I should do the first burn out lots of smoke to break them in? I've never ran anything on a slick so I'm really looking forward to it. If you have anything that you are racing cars, or motocross you gotta have the right tire. I've just been messing around too long.

Same size as mine except mine are on 15 inch rims...so you have a lot more sidewall, which is a good thing.

I figured I would run 13-15 lbs in the tires and that should take out any bite that might damage the trans. I want that sidewall to flex when it launches. I just basically matched my street tire for size 22.5 inches is about what my tires are that are new. So hopefully I can get to the track Friday. Greg's gone so I gotta find somewhere to mount my tires. I usually use his machine.

The slicks should be better on the trans than the street tires that spin and hop and are just unruly on the sticky pavement. The slicks will just go. Lots of rubber on the 13 inch rim so I'm thinking it should work. Besides my clutch is still weak so I'm hoping to just get some better passes in. The car is really strong right now. I have a upgraded clutch but outgrew it quickly on 16 psi, it will let go so I'm thinking it's going to slip with the slicks. But that will save my trans at least for now. I have at least 40 track passes on this trans with street tires. I'm ready to see what it can do with some traction. I'll be ordering a clutch shortly I'm sure.

[Flyin4stroke]

Nope. All my spares are gone. But I set it at 8psi on launch control so it should hold. 22x8 13

[M3NTAL]

What size are they?
