Awesome!!!!!

I think most people would agree that you dont need slicks...... its all about havng the right suspension and weight transfer...

I only use slicks cause suspension sucks as well as have crappy weight transfer...

or at least this is my opinion.....

Not sure of his class but I can tell you that I've never watched more exciting racing than the X275 class.
It was def a good night to be at SGMP. Sooo many fast radial cars. it was ridiculous.

Those guys throw down on Radials

Heres a 37 Minute video of the whole race weekend!

you should let the guys in the drag section know that (about have the correct suspension) everyone crys "you need bias ply for manuals"

i on the other hand am running the MT DR Pro and love the tire, just trying to get the suspension dialed in

Theres no argument, the bias ply will make parts live longer with a manual trans. Auto cars could careless.

For those in the know, don't these car have a lot of work done to the clutch systems to allow them to hook with that kind of power?

Or is that just in pro stock style cars and the like?

They have alot of Info from datalogging. Radial tire racing is all power manegment. May have traction control on them also. I won't get all into it but those cars are trick and make alot of power and can drive that 275 into the ground and put down the numbers.

The point i'm trying to make is that it is more then just "all in the suspension".
