1st track day with alky

[Scoobum]

Track prep obviously comes into play. What's more important is practising launching and getting seat time.

Will Nitto's be soft enough to get me 1.6 60ft times?

People do, but,  M/T or one of the other super soft tires will be easier....but, as Brad pointed out, the driver is usually a bigger part of the equation than the tire.

If you get a mIckey, MH, Hoosier, or whatever...put them on a separate set of wheels and use them only at the strip

For the once a year I get to the track I dont know if I wana spend the money. From what im reading if I get better at launching (practice more) and tune it better ( appears I have left some on the table) I should be in the 12's next time. I only need to pick up 3 tenths. Common sence may control my spending this time

 racing for a number when money is tight defies common sense

On a 17" Nitto I doubt you can get to that 60 foot...
