Question Short time

Well I think I finally got the hang of launching on DR"s. I was launching at 3 grand and I was getting like 2.0's. Tonight I was pissed at my poor 1/4 passes so I said f*ck it. I launched at 4 grand, hooked like a champ. To bad I hit my rev limiter in second and third gear ! Next run I launched at 4 grand again. Hooked well another 1.8xx 60 ft, but then I friggin missed 3rd gear! Next week after my cut outs get welded in I hope to have a new best. Oh I have a question, My DR's have no tread present at all. How many passes can i put on them before I should quit running them. TIA for your help guys.

You've got a moser 12 bolt and a spec stage3!!! Why are you still messing around with drag radials. Get yourself a set of 28X9 ET Drags, take it to 6500 rpm and side step the clutch.
