I found an awsome little strip of road. It is strieght, has excellent visability, and INCREDILE traction. It is one of those roads that was redone by spraying tar down, and then putting rocks on top. The rocks get packed down, but the road still has a rough and jagged surface.
I was playing with my 75 shot some, and decided to try spraying from a stop. It was just insane the acceleration I got. On the street, when I sprayed from a stop with a 50shot, I could spin them a little bit, but they would ussually not break loose if the road was descent and the temps were above the 40's. I thought that was pretty good. Keep in mind that nitrous adds twice the torque at 2500rpm, as it does at 5000rpm! Now, with a 75shot, the butt end drops down, and the car LEAPS forward. To bad I don't have a second stage to keep the acceleration going at higher rpms.
I'll have to borrow cougars G-tech, and make a couple runs.
Hey stinger, I bet you could set a new personall best their, but it would be pretty scary at 100!

Awesome! I wish I had traction right now, I keep losing it on simple stoplight takeoffs. Studded snow tires and lots of gravel on the road + a five speed that likes to die if you don't blip it a little on takeoff = wheelspin. Freaked my g/f out a bit the other night, kicked the ass around in a turn.

One of the main roads here you climb a hill and at the crest I can spool in 3rd and roast the tires a good distance at 55 mph. Childish but fun. It would make a good video clip.

-but of course that would be a lack of traction...sorry.
