Getting Dad his <12.99

All about the 60' with ET.

JMO, put the bars in the lower hole on your caltracs, barely touching spring

Has plenty to run 12.9x or better.

Looks like a car a friend owned in Costa Mesa.
Any adjustments I've tried have been in the name of getting out of the hole. I figure if it hooks well off the line, the rest of the pass is what it is when the pedal is buried in the floor. That said, I started with the Caltracs in the lower hole, just touching the spring, but it would just blow the tires off. I played with rear shock settings and it didn't seem to help, so I tried the upper hole which made some improvement, then added a little preload, which made a little more improvement... but it still spins. I'm sure there's more improvement to be had with more rear shock adjustment. Front shocks are set full loose on rebound (which isn't as loose as I thought they'd be) and full stiff on compression.

I realise that a prepped track should help traction a significant amount, but since I'm not familiar with racing on a track, I don't know just how significant that is. That's why I've been focusing on trying to get a good 60' before I take it there. Do you think the traction is so much better on the track that a Caltracs/shock setup that hooks on the street will hit too hard at the track? I'd just been figuring that it wouldn't upset anything at these power levels?

On a similar note, the ONLY time I've got the car to dead hook, there were 3 extra bodies in it! Even with the extra weight in the car, it still left way harder than it ever had. I had been planning to ditch some weight from the really easy places (spare tire/jack/trunk liner/half tank of gas/no breakfast burrito/etc.) but that would all come off the drive tires. That got me thinking that maybe the benefits of weight loss (in those places) won't be worth the loss of ground pressure on the rear wheels?
