Breeze? Don't recall much of one. "Track" consisted of the shoulder of a flat two-lane highway. VERY Slight hill, but I erred on the uphill side. Waited for all cars to pass, hit the button, dropped the clutch and gradually pulled out onto the road. So hell, there may have even been less traction because of shoulder debrit, but not much less by what my eyes could tell.

Am I giving my own competitors my research?? Should I be paid for this?

Quickly released the clutch at 3k, never took my foot off the floor, and at about 4k it hooked completely up and took off.
16x6.5 rims with 45mm offset.
Enkei RPO-1 wheels, retail for $150/each.

The Falkens are NOT autox tires unless you're in STS or STX. They're close, but not enough to beat a Kumho car. I like them, but will still run my Hoosiers at local events (on identical rims, bought two sets).
