It depends on the slicks. Some are running 20-25 and others are down as low as 10-12. There's an air line at SDR so you can adjust fairly easily this weekend if you're still going.

Start at 15 psi Josh. If it hooks leave it there. If not drop 1-2 psi and try it again.

I allways try to run as much air as I can with out spinning the tires it seems to keep it from wandering down the track. In cooler weather it likes to be around 10-12 psi Warmer and sunny 18ish works fine.

I have heard start around 20 psi and drop 1-2 psi after each pass and your times will tell you where the sweet spot is.
