Went to track yesterday. Need Traction!!

Well I went to the Rock Falls track yesterday, and ended up with my best time so far. Here is a rundown of the slip

R/T .... .078
60' .... 2.133
330 .... 5.647
1/8 .... 8.357
MPH ... 91.03
1000 ... 10.695
1/4 .... 12.626
MPH ... 117.08

My 60' sucks a lot, but that was bout the best I could muster on the stock 225 street tires.
I spun the tires a lot towards the end of first even at about half throttle, and the shift into second was pretty ugly, I needed to lift off otherwise it would spin even worse.
Got in 8 runs, and made it to the semifinals of the consolidation bracket race when I redlit.
Can't wait to get some sticky tires on it, and see what it will do. Although I'll have to wait until about the last trip of the year for that. I don't think the stock AODE is going to handle too much of that.
