Do you have a vid ? or did I miss it in my fog state of mind this morning ?

Those aren't to bad of times.A good mph you should be hit 13's with a 99mph.good launch an you should be there.I kept throwing a belt every time i did the burn out.My 60fts where 2.60's with the old tires haven't had the chance to run with the Drag radails.

I've been drive with the DR's all summer just never got the chance to get the track this year.They hook a hundred times better than the old Kelly chargers that were on there.They ever hook in the rain.Used to run at the track every sunday a few years back now if I can get there once a year i'm lucky.

Haha no kidding! The first night I got them it rained and I expected it to be like driving on ice like my old bald tires. Floored it and tried to do a powerslide, I just hooked and almost hit a post. Not much fun at all.

lmao that's what you get for using duct tape. what rpm you launch at? here some tips that might help for next time. i try to leave about 1/4 or less (even better) of gas in your fuel tank, bring or buy race gas at the track, spring blocker will help. i never used it but i heard lot of guys said it help with the launch. i have a set btw pm me. how's your launching? did you peel out a lot? you can take off at the last yellow light.
