Get Your Own Tire Crew Chief at Mickey Thompson Turn & Burn!
Buying parts that increase your horsepower is a surefire way to lower elapsed times, but what about optimizing what you already have?
Car setup can seem to be a dark art, influenced heavily by opinion. Practical experience, however, is unbeatable. There’s no-one better to offer experience than people who watch thousands and thousands of passes in any given year.

This is more than a drag and drive event — it’s a chance to get the most from your car under the observation of seasoned experts. They know the best tire pressures, suspension settings, and launch techniques to lower your personal best.
Mickey Thompson’s Jason Moulton said the Turn & Burn experience will be extraordinarily valuable for seasoned racers and rookies alike. If you’ve never used a drag tire on your car before, Mickey Thompson will even let you try on their range of tires so you can see how much your times improve. There’s no obligation to buy — but you’ll probably end up wanting to!
“We will have experienced staff on hand to help with the right selection and maximize the performance of your race car,” Jason said. “Mickey Thompson will mount them on your wheels, watch the runs, and review the results. If you like them, you have the option to buy. If you want to keep running on your old tires, we will swap them back at no cost to you.”
Entries are currently open for Mickey Thompson Turn & Burn. Whether you want to experience a drag and drive for the first time, get uber-competitive against some big names in the sport, or simply test your car, it’s an event for every street car enthusiast!
