going to the track

[damdog05]

i dont think supras like it very much...at all. i used to have an rx7 and i could redline it all day long.

[SexuallyUnfrustrated]

I've street raced a buddy's RX-7 and it would red-line easy. But If you say a supra can't do it...who am I to argue...I dun really know a whole lot about them. Just know that usually they can beat my Civic, cause it's N/A without supercharger or Turbo on it...just Borla Exaust...

[damdog05]

oh i dont know everything about them, just a little bit. anyway...any more tips anyone? this is a good start and i will be sure to update with my times and such when i get back. by the way...its at atlanta dragway in commerce, ga. $20 entrance fee for street legal cars. a good opportunity if anyone wants to join me

its not that my car cant redline, i did it a couple of times, and a civic? trust me those cars have a hard time keeping up with me when i shift at 5000 rpms , i dunt redline my car cuz my headgasket hasnt been replaced with a metal one yet, im building up my funds to find a 1jzgte or jus a 7mgte, so thats why im trying to drive my car as soft as i can

but race me with a civic , crx, prelude, or any car evenly matched with the same mods that i got, and i can show them what an inline engine can do

so i was wondering about the tires. should i let some air out so there is more rubber in contact with the road, or would that just cause more drag? maybe keep em filled up front and let some out of the back?

yeah if your running street tires you can drop the rears down to about 25 lbs. Any more than that is really counter-productive on street tires. Keep the fronts at full pressure.

you could go out and find yourself a set of mickeyT's cheater slicks. I think you can run those down to about 15lbs or air. They are essentially racing "slicks" with tread on em and DOT approved.

When bracket racing the most important things to do are cut good lights and stay consistant. Dont race the guy next to you...run your own race.

well as far a raceing with street tires i would say just under normal psi (thats is how they are ment to be run) and if you do burnouts to heat the tires befor you run dont over heat them alot of people do and well it pretty much just eats the tread off the tire and dosnt improve traction any i find it better to oly heat street tires a little.
