Today was a learning experience. I'm learning to race this car all over again with the new tires. That's ok though, I enjoyed it a lot. My best run for the day was 13.864 @ 99.58 but I did also have a 13.95 @ 101.03. With some more experience with these tires I'm sure I can get those times down quite a bit. The car does hook much better than with the stock tires though, I'm very pleased about that. I'm usually a little rusty on my first trip to the track for the year anyway, I'll be back in the groove of things soon enough.

I think I read Bill saying he had only about 2,000 miles on it.
Wow Scott, no wonder Momma wont let you get blown again .
You got that right! I'd be putting the OEM parts back on, towing it to the dealer and playing dumb !....

Hey Justin,
I am sure nerves come into play a little also. So do your new tire hook up better?

I'm running BFGoodrich KDW tires, this was my first time running the car on my new wheel and tire setup. I know for sure I will improve as I get better at launching the car with this setup. They do hook up a lot better than the stock tires. On my first run they hooked without a squeal or anything, but I may have launched a little soft on that run. Overall I'm happy that I was able to get the day off and go out there, it was a lot of fun.

Stupid question about our radios. I am MP3 challenged.
It seems that they can play files that are MP3's (judging by the MP3 symbol on the faceplate) and there is a button marked "FOLDER".
Does this mean that I can burn a CD full of MP3's in different folders, just like storing files in different folders on a computer. And then select the music in different folders?
I always burn a "music" CD and I am limited to the number of songs. But it looks like you could get a lot more in a straight MP3 format. Is my logic correct?
