Hey Richard,
The Goodyears are ok for the mile. I will be runing the Bridgstone Scuderia tires which are a little grippier. The Hoosiers are the max grip tire . You do not need to do a super hard smoking tire burn out launch so do sweat it with the Goodyears.
Turns out my battery was fine. I was bit by the slighty loose and coroded ground issue that many have incurred. Check the one from the battery to the frame. See you Sunday,,
