Need all the suggestions I can get guys. I'm gonna head to orlando speedworld saturday night and try the midnight racing. Never raced before, and am starting to get a little nervous.(ok, a lot nervous)

Correct me if I'm wrong...bleed rear tires down to 25, and fronts 35-40. I'm running P.O.S walmart tires , so this should be funny as heck.

Also, I what setting should my adjustable shocks be at (stiffest??) or does it really matter. ? I'm gonna leave my speakerbox, jack, spare tire, ect at the hotel I'm staying at so I can save weight.

Anymore suggestions, hints , tips, warnings...well wishes

you want your fronts soft

the rears you want stiff to a point. on strete tires, they will like some softness.

despite what you hear of what flack you get for it spin them lightly to get the them clean.... 3 pumps to 5k should do it just fine.


play with leaving points until you find the medium between a bad bog and spinning. when you find this rpm... probably about 2500 hold it there and pop the clutch out. it will leap out to bog. just before the front falls give it throttle and go. If you are spinning the instant you pop the clutch you are leaving to high.

shoudl be able to get 2.1s easily
