Karl,

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the low pressure (you should be able to go as low as 14 or maybe even 12 psi), good burnout and (hopefully) sticky launch pad (they better do some track prep for us!!!).

MY 4000 lb '73 454ci Vette runs consistent 12.4 - 12.6 on 275-50-15 M&H Racemaster cheater slicks. Once I get a good burnout, I can't tell that the tires slip at all. I stage at just below 3000 rpm and just hammer it on the second yellow. Best 60' time was 1.83. That car has very stiff road race suspension, so no tricks there, just good, sticky tires. Its real funny to watch when they stage me against a wheel standing 12.7-12.8 sec SB vega or maverick.
