    You're gonna have to say more than "were horrible". What is the car doing? What tires are you running?

            With the last setup which was a 300rr 225lr we were bad on a tacky track and worse come feature time this is our best so far when it hits dry slick we cant do anything though if it just dries out some were still pretty good

              Put the 250 in the lr, and the 175 on the rr or a 200

                I'm sure everyone will agree u need the stiffer spring on the lr. just swap the rear springs, reset ride heights and bite

                  I'd suggest raising any ballast you have higher in the car, if you can.

                    I agree with stock car driver! air those tires up and swap the rear springs around

                      dry slick track help

                      Post the wheel weights & the wheel offsets. If the wheels does not
                      line up front to rear tell which one or ones sets out more than the other.

                          Amen on more air pressure,,,,you are running air pressure for a 2300# mod,,not a 3400# tank!

                              I have been experimenting with air pressures this year and the higher air pressures are working better for me!
