Video of the good run
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DGLAvLml3s

Went to the track for the 1st time 2day and got 3 runs in. Its definitely alot harder than it looks. I had 3/4 Tank Gas, No Spare, Sub and amp still in the trunk


*******Both Slips on the left side********
1st run
Used My street tires which did nothing but get annihilated, i had to let off like a 3rd of the track then get into it again.


2nd Run (red lighted but who cares)
Strapped on the MT ET Streets and was much better


3rd run I gave it a lil to much rpm and the brakes couldn't hold so i didnt even do a real run. i jumped like a foot,stopped then went. (that was embarrassing)

I think there is still room for improvement, but it was a learning expierence and had fun.

Get some of that blue paint masking tape and put behind youre rear tires on the bumper before you make the runs. Then just peel it off when you leave the track.

I'd stay away from WD-40, I've found that its ok a few times, but fading comes in later.....I use Turtle Wax bug and tar remover, works like a charm, wont fade the paint, mine is silver like yers
