hmm wont fit my spare set, 15". Another question though, I saw the guys that were doin the gamblers races idling high at the starting line, but when I was there I couldn’t do it because I was worried about drifting forward or backward if I took my foot off the brake. Is there any chance I would have drifted? Still trying to rectify this problem I call a 1/4 mile. ---

no… if you stop your car totally you shouldn’t roll at the line. i don’t hold the brake when i’m about to launch… i don’t seem to roll however there have been times when i’ve rolled into a deep stage… I.E. almost a bit too far. ---

I NEED some training, I can’t hold power of all that torque. Thats why I was gonna smoke the tires a little…but I stalled out. ---

when ur at the line, stage like normal, and if u have a hand e-brake, use that. you will preload the drivetrain and launch out of the hole quicker… as soon as u start going and feel shit to grip, release ebrake. this will save your half shafts… errr…wait, u got a rear wheel drive car… that wont work… ---
