Tire pressure was lowered to 32lbs most of the time. I always go around the waterbox and do a quick spin of the tires to clean them off before staging. When staging, I creep real slow after the first light to just barely light up the second. The DA in most of the runs was 1500 or more. Drag radials are next on the list as soon as the PSS wear down a bit more. Hoping to get below 12.5.

In cold weather >70 degrees, summer tires like pss has no traction unless warmed up, hence burnout to make it sticky.
Will post my results soon

to be fair...thats also the best prepped track, maybe, in the world. EKanoo owns it and has used it to break various records in different classes. they just broke the GTR record with a 7.2X pass which is over 2 tenths faster than what AMS has run in the states.
unfortunately, dragtimes.com's database is down so i cant find the real world times from various owners.

the track is not owned by ekanooracing, it is owned by bahrain international circuit.. All his times are legit.
ekanooracing just sponsers the drag event weekly.

Did 5 runs total and 12.83 was the best time. Disappointment is an understatement.
I did standstill burnouts twice, then with mode in sports+ and manual with traction off, it wouldn't engage into 1st gear. The dash displays "slippery surface detected, can't start in 1st gear". Wtf? What's the point of electronic nanny in "expert race mode"?!

Hmm..interesting. So have any members gotten quicker than 12.8 out of the RC-F yet?
Seems like 12.8-12.9 is the limit so far for the RCF?
