Default Going to the track tonight

Dallas Raceway tonight, track opens at 5 so I'll get there early to let it cool down a bit. I'll have my 16" skinnies on the front along with the 18" drag radial on the back. Its going to look funny but I'm after the et!

12.66 is the best ET on the 20" tires in the back on the motor tune. I'm thinking it will run low 12's with the 26" radial on the back.

Mods are: Tune and a muffler, then a little bit of the sauce to see just how far we can get in to the 11's.

Can you post some pictures of the car? I'm curious to see what it looks like with that setup.

Just curious how those huge wheel wells look with the smaller od tire, not so much the type of rim or whether it matches.
