Hey guys. well... I probably should have asked 'prior' to going... what Tire Pressures to run in the Stock Bridgestones... cuz car just could not hook up (Video later). Was burying the tires in first, forcing me to short shift to 2nd... running 1.81 60's 
Mods: Mid Pipe & Jack Cecil Tune
TimeSlip: 11.16 @ 127
My first pass was 11.17 @ 126.97... andI get 'ejected' from the track. I waited about 30 minutes... and then went up to the staging guy... and asked him to radio the tower... and see if they'd let me run if I wore a fire jacket (which I brought). After a few mins... he said 'Go Get your car!
So... I went back with only about 15 minutes left to close... and was impressed that (although it just would never hook up in 1st)... I hot lapped the car... 4 runs in less than 10 minutes... and it went 11.16, 11.2, 11.18, 11.16 at over 126+
AZ is known to be about .2 slower than most other tracks... DA was 1800 ft
I was surprised that even hot lapping the car... the bridgestones never bit... thought they spun due to being cold... but they didn't care... they just never could hook first. Are the Dunlops that much better? Is there a recommended tire pressure for the track with the runflats?
Thanks!
Dave
