Did any of you guys notice the Goodyear Drag Radials? Look very similar to the M/T DR, but I was told the sidewall on the Goodyears aren't as stiff.

Oh yeah...my friends Tony and Sherry had them on their pink Mustang coupe. They said they worked VERY well for them...they went their fastest pass ever on drag radials w/ a 9.008 @ 152.8MPH.

I talked to the guys at the Goodyear booth for a while and they seemed really nice. The tires still aren't for sale, but I heard that one of the Goodyear dealers in Daytona will be among the first to get their hands on them, so keep your eyes peeled.

Yup, Dave is right...9.00 @ 152. The car was on and off of the microswitch b/c the throttle cable has to route a weird way around the big block, which causes it to bounce under hard acceleration. The car went MUCH quicker on the Goodyears than the ET Street Radials. About 2-4 tenths if I remember correctly. Had it not been for the microswitch problem, that should have been an 8.90 pass.
