sounds like you need to go to another track, not get different tires.

I'm not kidding, I saw a guy complain about track prep one time, and the track official spit a big old guber down and said "Good enough for you now?"

LOL! That sounds like the old management we had at our local track!

At least Orlando is only 33' above sea level! Our local track is 1250' and I've never seen the DA get below that. It was 1700' a few week's ago when I ran my cobra. The track does hook though.

Orlando Speed World has been paid for like 140 times over, and the management just doesn't care anymore. It's only 33' above sea level, but the DA is seldom below 1200' in FL, and the humidity is almost always near 100%. You can generally hook up ok if you have enough tire, but you can just forget it with a set of Nitto's, unless they are absolutely bald. My best there was a 1.64 with slicks and full size tires up front.
