4.30s, 4.56s too much for the street?

Why would I waste my time running on street tires at the track when I have slicks? Last time I raced my car with Nittos I went 13.09 with a 1.77 60 foot time that was almost 2 years ago when my best on slicks was a 12.99...that was on 4.10 gears. I ran my car at the track once with Pep Boys radials about 6 months ago and went 13.5 @ 99 letting off at 1000' mark because it was on the limiter in 4th (the tires are shorter than my 26" tall slicks). Based on my 1/8 mile number I would have run 13.04 @ 107 this was with a 1.8 60 foot...not too bad for a "shreddin" contest.

Obviously you've never heard of slipping the clutch or learned how to control your right foot. I however have spent many hours at the track learning how to drive my car. Mashing the gas off the line is not driving, learning to control your tires off the line is what wins races. I'm the guy that can leave cars that should have no problem beating me, because at the line they can't control tire spin...I can.
