Cheers boys, not running power anything like yours but good to get some tips - actually have a pair of slicks for the front so will fire them onto spare 15s i think

If you're running standard road tyres then I'd probably not do massive burnouts before racing (unless Ade is kicking around with his camera ), I read that the heat will actually decrease grip levels as the tread blocks are more likely to move around.

All the best Rossatron, I should be up there providing the weather is ok. It will be good to see what times your car will do mate.

Cheers,

Come over and say hello mate if you see me
