I assume they are talking Indiana and the weather up here is still not the greatest yet. Wait until we start getting some warmer days so the track warms up during the day and then the cool evening air comes in. From whaat I saw in the video they are hooking up too early so the R's are dropping. They need a little more slippage to keep the R's up or they need a lower gear in the rear. People need to remember that this car has a top end of 180mph. My opinion is that if this car was only for the strip the rear end gears need to be changed but then it isn't only for the strip is it?
It's still going to be warmer...and as far as I'm concerned, a 1.6x 60' isn't hurting from lack of traction.

Your best times are going to come in the cool weather we have now on a well prepped track.
