Best (official) 1/4 mile.........14.248...103.20 mph
Best unofficial today............13.917....101.93mph

Good to be back home.....long hot days outside up there...lol...

My best times. Meh

Best offical auto-x ..... 39.018
Best unofficial on Sunday.... 38.156, Nannies off

Best official 1/4 mile.... 14.23...102.38 mph
Best unofficial 1/4 mile....13.996...102.00 mph, nannies off but not any real difference. Just got the tires to hook faster

For stock tires keep pressure at 35-36. I thought I would try 32/31 as some recommend, but think hurt the times some(besides my driving ) as I have to much rollover on the tire sides, the rough wear pattern showed that when I looked today. 35-36 was best and did best times at Fontana, will stick with that.

But had great time and want to do again in spite of the heat!

Maybe lowering helps for the other, stickier brands and not the Pirellis...I just left mine at 36...Maybe it would help go lower on your new set...dunno...I'd almost rather slide than roll over on them...lol...
I just wish Fontana's pavement was as nice as Famoso's...lol...I thought that was a pleasant surprise how nice the asphalt was there compared to the rest of the place...lol...

Greg had a great 1/4 mile (for third place, a 13.8 I think) and Robert had an unofficial 36.5 for auto-x...

Yeah, keeping at 36. The Nittos are a softer sidewall so those will be 36 at least. Yeah liked the nice pavement but thinking the tires grab the rougher surface better...lol. How did Robert do a 36.5? Hope he took notes as he did it..lol

I think Robert may have lowered the pressure in his Pirellis...lol...go figure...lol...

No I didn't lower my pressure either, I was thinking about it... but I left them at 36...

Had a great time, Sunday was when I had my best time in the auto cross, Saturday was my best drag racing.

Sunday drag racing wasn't that great, hit the rev limiter and the car laid down on me....

Were you paddle-shifting or whatever when you hit the rev-limiter...or did it hit it on it's own somehow?
