To make your 23rd & above runs tomorrow memorable:
1) Run the et streets at 14 lbs. That will protect your axles and give you great hook up.
2) Moderate burnout. Pull your ABS fuse and give them 4 or 5 secs. MT folks told me to try to get them within 20 degress of the track temp. I don't know what that means, except don't overdo it.
3) Use some RPMS - with your clutch, rev it & just dump it at 5000 and work up.
4) With those low pressures, you will get some gentle swaying at high speeds so be prepared for it.
5) Run in the rain or go around corners fast and you will end up in the weeds! Drive gently to the track, race and drive home - then put proper street tires back on.
Good luck.

Thank You to everyone who replied. I happy to say tonight I finally made it into the 12's. My first 12 second pass was a 12.7453 at 108.99 with a 1.8743 60' and my last pass of the night was a 12.5328 at 109.17 with a 1.8337 60'.
Now I have to work on the 11's
