This was my first time at the track in 2 years and the very first with a manual. I don't know about the traction for everyone else but I was sidestepping and was even told the rear end hopped on my first past. The second pass I calmed down 'alittle' and did better, still spinning though: 2.563(60ft), 6.488(330), 9.623(1/8)@77.55, 14.604@99.77. I was too darn excited and couldn't stop spinning . The last pass I let the air down close to 30psi and thought I could launch alittle harder and I was wrong- worst pass of the 3. Not making excuses but, stay away from Ohitsu tires. The tire dealer told me they were good tires, I spin worst in 1st, 2nd and 3rd with the 275 Ohitsu than I did with the 245 zr1s.

Anyhow, thanks for making me feel better about screwing up It is embarrassing, I left right after that 3rd pass. I need to take it back up there on a tune night(more passes) and see what I can get out of it. The 89 will be the main track vehicle though.
