Depends if you want to do a wheelie on launch or if you want to burn out.

The higher, the less traction your going to have. The lower the pressure the more rubber your putting on the ground. Also by using a lower pressure you wear your tires faster.

i knew a lot of the guys who were regulars there ran much lower than street tire pressure, i just forgot to ask them how low. i think its at 36 or something now (whatever was in the book,lol) ill just have to bring a pump and play around with it, i think ill try 28 first, that should be plenty
