My wheels showed up today (thanks to a fellow L owner). Now it is time to get the 18" road race slicks mounted up. At the strip I know they won't hook up as well as drag slicks but I bet they hook better than F-1's. On the road course it should stick like glue. Should be no problem with the new suspension and slicks to pull more than 1G.

 

what kind of tires are they and what did you payfor them thanks

 

Here is a lead on road race tires. I am mounting the Dunlop 300/710R18 (Viper). This is the closest in height and width to the F-1's. I will measure them tomorrow once they are mounted. They will be slightly wider and about 1/2" taller.

Buying them new is expensive, approx $2000 for 4 tires. Your best bet is to find a race team that uses the size you want and pick up their take offs (scrubs). Mine are one heat cycle take offs and didn't cost anything. I did however have to buy another set of L wheels and have to pay for mount and balance.

Thank's Wayne.

Hey Wayne want to try Woodburn after work on Friday? I will check the schedule I think they are still running friday night drags. Usually crowded but the lines move pretty fast. I think they run like 4-8pm.

 

I can't go this Friday, but I have the 21st off and I plan of going if they are open. Let me know if you want to go next Friday.

Any luck on those prices?
