What  pressure is common for Maxton where "V" and "Z" street tires are 
common?  
How about at El Mirage?  It would seem like lower pressure would be  better on

>From what I've gathered, mostly on threads on this list, surface is the  
first factor in tire pressure. Maxton's concrete generates the best traction and  
therefore the most heat. On the other end, The Salt has the average least  
traction, and therefore the least  heat. I remember some LSR  veterans saying 
that between Nitrogen in the tires and the cooling effect of the  high-moisture 
Salt, there wasn't any negligible pressure rise FOR MOST  CARS. Take into 
account HP, Weight, speeds, your opinion here.
Considering how much we invest in our toys, and our safety, I think  
practically all LSR vehicles should run Nitrogen. It's economical too,  saves the 
insides of those expensive tires, you take care of the  outsides.
As for V, Z, W, or Y tires, I run them all and right at the factory  max.
