  • Mickey Thomson Sportsmans are too much

    I was stoked about using my buddy MT sportsmans at the track this weekend, but they are too much for my stock clutch.

    I made a n20 pass at my secret "airport test facility" and they made the clutch stink bad.

    Now I am condemned to make my coveted 13 second pass on kuhmo 711's.

    I have the front of the car lowered 2" but I left in the stock rear springs. I was considering removing the rear swaybar to help the rear end squat during launch.

    My question is:
    1. am I wasting my time trying to get a 13 second pass on street tires with nos 5175?

    2.Should I remove the rear sway bar?

    3. ANyone got advice about track launching on street tires?

    leave the rear swaybar hooked up, unhook the front swaybar for more traction..

        bummer, try to borrow some nittos or BFG DR's instead.
