Default damn 60'

first day at the track this year on a 150 shot

last year went 10.4 @ 129 with a 1.48 60'

just went a 10.3 @ 132 with a 1.64 60'

track wasnt holding. I had to spray 40' out and still spun.

hopefully i can get the car to hook and see 9's

My suggestion is a real tire back there if you expect to hook. A 17" drag radial isn't going to cut it, atleast with any consistancy.

as soon as I find a deal on some 15" bogarts to match the front I will be putting a 30" tire out back. I just looked at my tires now and they are cracked from sitting out over winter. the car will also be getting a glide this year.

IMO if you are looking to run high 9s, dont run that big 30" radial. stick wo the 325 m/t radial. i love it.

my reason for the 30'' tires would for use with a glide. On the street with a glide and 30'' tires it should hook without a problem.


what reasoning do you say for not going with a 30'' tire? i really dont know what setup i want to do. I really want to put the glide in it. Right now I have 3.73's as well. The car makes about 400 on motor and then a 150 shot on top of that, and it is at 2799 race weight with a few hundred more pounds to come out.

my reasoning is why run a tire you dont need? the 325/50 is an enormous tire and you should be able to leave with everthing you have

true. the car doesnt make "much" power and doesnt weight anything.

do you think i could get away with the 275/60? then i could run a 8'' wheel and you know have less weight lol

wayyy to much money. My last time in a racing kart (i have done rentals and **** since) was a scary one. I got nudged over into a hay bail and the kart stuck right to it. I went flying out of it and landing right in the middle of the track. Another karter came flying up on me and he slamed on the brakes and spun a 180 and hit my lower back. The impact snapped his steel bumper clear off, it was held on with 2 10mm bolts. I was able to stand up and walk off the track, only to find out i had lost both of my shoes lol. The wreck totaled my kart and ended my season.
