Post Drag Radials Rule!!

I got my personal best ET today of 13.618 @ 101.79 mph. The drag radials are great, it's amazing how much better they grab on to the track. I have this message board to thank. I'm gonna get a Bassani kit next.

I used 255/50 16s (BFG Comp T/As). I launched at about 1200 rpms, I think with some more suspension adjustments I'll be able to launch at higher rpms than that. Unfortunately they didn't give us our 60' times that day, of all days But in comparing my previous ET of 14.03, and the only modifications since then being adjusting the Cal-Tracs and running the DRs, I'd say the DRs are a must!

can you fit a larger tire on there, like a 275 or 295? Figure if you get a bigger foot print you can get better traction
