I turned it all off on stock tires. More control I think. I will let my butt foot and loud pedal work together instead of letting a computer do my job lol.

Launch control isn't for the track. It's just for street on a stock car

Yea I agree not good for the track. But on the street it seems to blow the tires off.

The stupid track officials have lake Erie in front of both lanes. So I can't drive around it.

No need to drive around it. Just do a burnout to get rid of the wet tires. I've heard that p zero tires like heat so give it some. Lower psi to 25. To turn off all the nannies hold the tc button down for about 7 seconds or until both lights show up

Never WOT. Start at 1200 rpm and as the clutch comes off the gas goes on. I am at WOT by the tree.

I am going to the track for the first time tonight to run the 1/4. Never done it before so I should suck lol. Did two test hits last night and I was surprised how much the car bogged down with Launch Control on. After reading this thread I'm thinking of going all "nannies" off. Should be interesting.
