Two pairs of brown leather flip flops, never seen more then 2 mph. Education is what your left with once you forget things! |

That looks close to what I've ended up at: 3000# car, 32" slicks and 7 1/2#.

My car's race weight is 3550 with a 28" tire and I run 14 psi that's two pounds under what they recommend for minimum

Its a good reference point. When I had 28 x 10.5 slicks on an 8" rim. I ran 12-14 lbs depending on the track conditions.
