Yes pavement was definitely cold! We have a 100 treadwear minimum rule in the drags so many people have Nitto NT-01s, 555rs, etc. I have NT-01's in the front and 555r drag radials in the back (which aren't really drag radials). The thing is.. usually when I slip, that's it. I'm done. I was able to keep control of it this time though for the most part.
Also I did get a little luck with Al and Mike V's cars breaking down, so I can't say I cruised through everyone. I was able to beat Chris Gomes though.
From my clips, I noticed I'm really sliding down the hill on my launches. I'm not sure if I can do something about that... I know that you can stiffen up the swaybar for the drag strip when the car doesn't leave straight... but I'm not sure if that applies here.
