It's a good place to learn how to do that. Just be careful because the SP Police have pretty much all of the same powers of a Trooper and they don't like when we play in their front yard.
I'm running stock size Conti EC DWS on stock wheels but it was really warm (over 80*) when I did it so the pavement was sticky and the tires were hot from the highway run out there. That's usually enough to add a few mph by itself but I have a bit of experience with that circle from taking cars out there to "test" them for over 30 years. The first time I did it was the summer of '84 in my old 200SX before tweaking it, then again the next summer after it was worked. With that car I was able to get pretty much the same results after the work was done and I had a bunch of track time.
