Quick interruption - Nitto NT-01's, drag strip/ 60-130 tires, or do they work well for track days, too?

Because in a Houston downpour you will hydroplane on these tires...ask me how I know. Don't chance it.

I was a bit surprised at the trap...w/ his full fuel system and extra breathing mods I was expecting 135, even in the heat. The ET was good.

Talking about me again Sean? Yes, I went to the track to test out the new mods. For the first time, I did a half assed burnout. And they were running bikes all day, so the good traction was in the wrong part of the track. Any way, on my first pass I was able to run a 10.88 at 133. 60' was 1.8 while losing traction. I can't wait to get those drag radials on. Then I'll be able to launch it even harder. I did to more passes, 10.9 and 11.1. All at 133. I'll post the video as soon as I can this weekend. After checking the pbox data, I have increased my mid range power almost 10%. Mike Bailey made a graph for me that I will post with the video.
