i need more practice on a day when i can get more back to back kinda runs...one run @ 7:30 and 1 @ 10 is not condusive to good results from a noob on the track.

I got a buddy I work with that has a pretty sicko ford lightening that was all pissed that he couldnt make the dragway because the trucks in the shop getting an overhaul. Thing was a 12 second show truck before the new set of mods, now he'll definately be down into the low 11's. Its pretty crazy to watch a truck pull times like that with lambo doors and 20 inch chrome rims.

> brian, the tires i have are NOT slicks.
I dunno, seeem like "slicks" to me ? :shrug:
Good pics, I looked up the Tirerack info.

$118 each ? :shock:
I hate payng a lot for tires !
> they are street legal, DOT approved drag radials.
Oh ok, so they are Not banned at NED.
With a wear rating of "00"; Can You make the trip up and back without eating up the tires ?
I assume you are switching rims up there ?
How come it has a traction rating "B" Less than some Ultra summer tires vs A or AA even ?
Temp is a "C" I have a lot to learn about Tires.
I ran my best time up there on snow tires.
They had less grip and slipped even with the AWD. 14.6s or so; pretty stock.
I gave up dragging just after my cltuch did.
110k-miles oem original though, so expected.
You going up again soon ?

yea, i dont drive on them on the street, these are strickly track tires for me.
after paying 175$ ea for the michelin pilot sport A/S that are on the car now, the drag radials arnt that bad...lol
i would assume the B traction is beacuse it has virtually no wet traction.
compared to the falken 512's i had on the car before, the BFG's are amazing.
im hoping to make it up there again within the next couple weeks.
i want to go up on a wensday, supossedly its alot less busy during the week, seems to make sense.
we'll see what happens.
