Hello Mark,
The tyres were my recently purchased SP9000's, with about 25lbs in them. I had so much grip last night compared to my first outing. I didn't know how to work with the grip, it bogged down each time. I had the revs up to 3000rpm for one of the runs and it still bogged a little. One of my 60' times was 2.016, 2.111 was the third one. The mph was a little down, maybe the less pressures wouldn't allow the car to roll nicely at high speed. I was hoping for a few more runs. I wanted to work on the extra grip thing, the 60' times may have dropped into the 1.9's. It's all encouraging, thanks again for all of your assistance, without it I would definately be going slower.
