Bruce, I took my RC R/T out this weekend and I was dissapointed too. I was
especially feeling bad that Dodge was sponsoring the track and advertising
the R/T and the best I could do was a 15.4. My main complaint was the
traction. The tires hooked up great on the street, buck sucked eggs on the
track. I'm putting some lakewoods on right now and I'll let everyone know
how things work out.
