Default Count down to a new Drag radial record: 7.33
Alot of big races are in the next 4-6 weeks....

Hinzman just went 7.330 @ 197 in testing @ Milan
Run Details:
1.27
3.25
4.83@156.20
6.18

He was .13 slower to the 1/8 mile than wolfe was on his pass. Are we going to see 7.16-7.18 in drag radial???????

I don't see how, legally that is. Aren't most of these cars only cert'd to 7.50? Testing is one thing, but in competition you just get a DQ.

Daves car is a 25.2 cert. Shakedown has done some creative rules so they can be lighter than the cert.

that is how they look when hit hard and you have enough power to stay on it.

believe me, that car hooks and other 7 second cars work the same way

Shakedown is gonna be an awsome event , around 50 Promod cars and Lynch vs Glidden and probably the 3 or 4 fastest DR runs ever. Wish I could go!!

Yep! Wolfe set it tonight at Atco in New Jersey!

He went a 4.7x last time out at the dale and ran a tenth slower tonight with supposedly 10lbs less than his 4.7x pass!

Like I said before...outlaw radial is gonna get crazy with Wolfe back in the game.

I knew it was coming...just didn't want to jinx him. With the 4.70 tune, there was more in it and it sounds like he backed it down.

Drag radial race in Bradenton and Shakedown should be interesting.....

How much faster will they go? Are 6's far away?
