Last summer I dabled in the hard tire racing and starting spraying my car at the same time using a progressive controller. Over the winter I discovered that the nitrous was never actually activating, or at least not continously. I fixed that over the winter and attended an extreme street racing event in Steele Alabama Saturday night. I was disappointed to find that not only were they not using a clock, but the race started at the unprepped half track and was only an 1/8 mile race. It was also a flashlight start and was as much of a Street Outlaws wanna be race as any I had ever seen. But, it was fun none the less.
I got 1 practice run in and it went pretty well, just screeching the tires through 2nd. 1st round I drew the eventual winner and panicked shortly after the launch and jabbed 2nd gear. I was fighting tire spin all the way to the finish line, almost crossing into the other lane, and lost by a couple of car lengths. I was the only stick shift car in the field of 7 and think I could have beaten half of them easily if it was not for blowing the tires off.....but, that is the whole catch to the hard tire racing.
