The sti will win again this year, bet the truck will surprise a lot of people.

I tend to agree.

Found an article for 2016 with a few pictures

Try it once. You won't get to 100, but I bet you beat the Subaru to 50, if they don't have low range (no idea if they do or not). It works.

Another thing im considering is fuel. I spaced and completely topped off the tank at lunch. I plan to take the bike tomorrow since there arent many nice days left, and I have no plans this weekend, so it will still be a full tank monday. drag racing with extra weight seems pointless, so I considered siphoning a bunch out, but now Im wondering if the added weight might help traction, IDK.

12-15 eh? Thats quite low.

I run 35x12.5 duratracs, I think they will hook up okay.

I dont think Ill go for auto, redline in first isnt the way to go, I think you lose some time there.

Ive heard theres a Subaru STI that wins every year, so it will be a tough race I'm sure.

if concerned go up to 18 psi, but you want as much tire patch on the ground as possible, don't go higher.

nope, not concerned at all, not taking corners so low risk of popping a bead, and traction will be #1 priority in this race. I think Ill shoot for 15psi. Its gonna take FOREVER.
