f1's at the strip

I am going racing at the strip. but I have a bit bald f1,s on and can't afford new one's before the 19th . I know they are kind of crappy on the street the way they are, but I was wondering if they will be just as bad on a nice surface at stanton or OK? anyone with a little experience on this one? I just want to know what to expect or should I at least buy two new ones for the rear.

How in the hell do some of you guys get such GOOD 60 ft times on the F1's My f1's have probley half tread and the best i can get with them is a 1.97 60ft. Do you run them at 30lbs at teh track i have tried backing them down to 28 lbs and no help from what i seen. Is there a secret ?

I have run a couple high 1.8 60's by running 25lbs in the F1's and they haven't even heard of VHT at the track where I run. Let out some more air and I bet you they hook better.

your help is greatly appreciated , I was actually starting to worry about it and not want to go. I was afraid I would sit and spin! So it sounds like I will still have fun.
mine are a hair worse than yours Rob.
thanks mike,
