EASY WAY TO DROP A TENTH???????? Thats All I Need To Get Into The 14s.....

no one mentioned airing up the front tires, air them up to 45-50psi, but dont forget to take them back down after you leave the track, this will reduce the friction between the tires and the ground and thus make them easier to move, every little bit helps
also if your REALLY desperate (like the time a ran a 14.02 and BADLY wanted to break into 13's) you can pull your serpentine belt, but take the belt and tool that you use to take it off with you so you can put in back on AS SOON as you get off the track, it will easily give you 1-2 tenths, i did it and hit a 13.9X on a worse 60ft than the 14.02, so i know it works pretty well but i wouldnt reccomend you doing it very often
good luck, hury up and get rid of those gears and shoot for 13's!!
