Default Layed down some 7's with streets

Finally did it! I was told so many times by my friends that street tires cant put me to the 7's I ran 05/13/04 at Farmington dragway in NC a 7.705@92.350 I was running BFG's comp T/A KDWS running them on a 245 50 16 get some good side walll over my 17s. here is the best of several 7 second runs 1.802 5.007 7.705 @92.350. No N2O straight motor with streets at 30 PSI. So it can be done though I would let you know. Derek
