Those aren't street tires, right? You had the better reaction, right? Thats really the reason you always watch a few rounds before you drag your car through the staging lanes if losing bothers you that much.

Reaction times are a plus, but 60ft.times help a boatload if your worried about the guy in the next lane, and or looking for a new PB.

Yeah... my short time suffered... my BFG drag radials have seen better days for sure. my best 60 ft has been 1.68... however only got one pass on SUNDAY FUNDAY... because of 2 crashes and bad weather...

I cut 1.83... my typical is 1.7 with a 12.3 ET... I have been debating on going with short tires (275/50R15 vs 275/60R15)... 26in however with the cheater plate no2 kit sitting in my garage I feel i may hurt my times...when I drop the kit one it.
