Tire press. ???
At my local track had a real bad time with traction.I ran 15lbs of press. and only got 1 good pass out of about 13. What press. is too low ? The tire is a Shinko, the bike is 61".

I ran a MT and even once and a while I have traction problem's... it is crazy. I go down to 12 if I have to. but most of the time I run 15-18.

I tend to run as much pressure as possible. 8s on a Shinko with 25psi. That low of tire pressure does not yield any advantage on the Shinko like it does with a M/T. But MIR has insane traction.

I've heard the same about Schinko. I run 25ish in mine as well, but I'm a stock arm.

Try to get them to put alot of VHT down to the 1/8 mile...I heard of guys spraying VHT on their tires but dont know if thats good or not...

Man, they probably don't even have Vht. This track is a "Mom&Pop" track. Not maintained very well at all. When I go to The closest sanctioned NHRA track, i have no problems. Just wondered if 15psi was too low to be racing on. Thanks !
