House of Hook was the House of Slip and Slide today. Not a lot of cars showed up, poorish weather and cool temps all lead to no traction. As an added bonus, my posi decides when and if it spins both tires on its terms. I've yet to find out what those terms might be. Exxedy clutch is hella aggressive for street tires. I could slip it okay off the line, but thottle on powershifts are trecherous at times....more than once on the 3-4 shift it would actually spin and wiggle around. Not cool at the 1000 foot mark and doing 95 mph. All passes were made on hardened, worn out 275/30-19 General skeet tires as usual.

Best pass:

60-1.961
1/8th-8.263@87.59
1/4--12.746@109.68

Worst pass*
60-2.529
1/8th-12.961@46.68
1/4---22.132@49.94

*After doing a one wheel peel for the 3rd consecutive pass, I decided to powershift into 2nd and blow the tires off. I then proceeded to put it in 6th and cruise. Also had a 2.54 60' on another pass that I managed to still pull off a 13.5@109.
Yeah the traction was bad for me on the 1-2 shift almost every pass last Thursday. I think I need to take the shift firmness down on my Predator a couple of notches It's at 17% firm right now.
