u mention I needed a stiff tire to get my car to launch, ok I see it works by looking at your 60ft times
My Question is why has everyone been telling me to get my ET street drag radial off my car and it will 60 ft better, there explained there are to stiff and not for a stick car.
Again I know nothing about drag tires

Guys are running deep into the 1.teens with MT DR's....and that's not even the pro tire.
I also know slicks just work better with a stick, but I don't like the top end squirm I got with a bias tire and low air pressure.

If it's dead hooking, I wouldn't think there would be much more in a slick ?

How low did you run your tire psi?

Thanks John Deere Racer, made my decision M/T 3055s 28x10 m5 compound, you have been a big help Thanks Again .
Hope you get them 1.2xs 60ft
It was barely spinning
Your welcome
Wasted 2 years of my racing life chasing 60's with 275-315 26" radials and a stick. Never consistent just a "lucky" pass here and there. Typical day looked like 1.85 1.75 1.9 1.8 2.1 1.7 1.9 1.75 . Now with an et street bias 26x10 every pass is a 1.61-1.66 leaving about 6000-6400rpm. Still drive to and from the track 70 miles each way.
