Im wondering what you guys do right before racing. Like what psi do you have the rear tires at? What do you remove out of the car? Etc.

Also, how do you remove the FSB?!?

Thanks

I lower from 32 to 25 PSI on the rear. Some people add more air to the front tires. I take out sub, spare, jack, any other loose junk (right now I have 50lbs weight set in car. take that out!! )

And I take my passenger headlight out at the track. I don't remove/loosen the FSB though. I may try that next time.

make sure you got like 110 octane race gas, and turn traction control off, and lower the pressure BY 10 PSI, not TO 10 PSI

110 oc?





Ill see what I can take out of my car. Im doing a stock on stock race with a little black jelly bean before I get my gears/exhaust done to see what the outcome would be. Ill be sure to get it on vid.
