    You never ran on them before?

    I used up about 12 or 14 sets of them on the Mach1...naturally Mach1 doesn't haul butt in the MPH, so it wasn't noticeable at all...even with sway bar completely off the car. Ran them as low as 10psi before.

    The Termee was a different story though...just carefull not to give the steering too much input. You are going to feel it, but you can get used to it / Seems like road racers cant over come that feeling.

    Did M/H have soft sidewalls like M/T?

    I hear that Drag Slicks are even more freaky!

    Stock IRS, 14psi HOT, and a good 6 seconds of smoke in 2nd gear at the burnout box. I should do less of a burnout, but it's too fun .

    Taking the RPM's up to 5000 plus (sorry, trainning my ears to the way it sounds without looking at the tach) and not pushing on the gas when the clutch is being released...if I dont feel the tires spin as the clutch is coming out, I begin to floor it.

    It is seriously a timing thing...if I can catch it at the right time when the clutch is being released, she should spin slightly (keeping the motor from bogging) and hook.
