Default Drag Radials on the street
Any of you guys run drag radials full time as I do on my Vette and Silverado ?

Check out the new rubber test we did yesterday.

I run 345 Hoosier R6s on the street. Tell them to make a 19" so I have other choices...

Hey Pitt, imagine seeing you here. You too Drew!

I'm going to need DR's all the time when my car is done in a week or so. I'm putting an Ls3 427 in UVETTYA.
