Thanks,
Hopefully I can get it down a few tenths more with a better 60' time.

There were around 15-20 cars (70% were LS1's)

My 60' time was 2.21 (On old bald tyres)
I'm hoping to get around 2.00 with my normal road tyres next time.

If you can get to 2.00 you have plenty of time to cut there..

Only did about 10 runs yesterday and left at lunch time so I could watch the V8 supercars, so it comes down to how many runs you want to do (You could probably do up to 30 or 40 runs if you wanted to kill a car).
