On a 13 second car a set of slicks will last a looooong time. People who only get 25 runs out of a pair are trying to do a pro stock style burnout or something. On a 7 second car, yeah they do go away quick but not on a bracket car in the 13's. From my observations, most of the inconsistancy blamed on slicks, tune up, weather, or whatever comes from inconsistant staging, burnout, and launch technique. Establish a system for prepping, staging, and launching the car, use the same procedure every time and consistancy will come from habit.Last edited by Dave Severson; 04-11-2006 at 04:16 AM.
