When you live 100 miles from the nearest track and you don't have a tow rig or trailer, You HAVE to take all you can. Plus, if I break something---it's a $350 ramp truck ride home! I've had lots of hobbies, but none of them have given me the rush that drag racing does...Also, I've met some wonderful people. People that are still friends after meeting and competing against them 30 years ago.... WJ

Well.. I drive 100+ miles to most the tracks I run at. I do it on the skinnies Use to do it on the ET Streets too... but going to try and save my new set for track only = changing the rears at the track.

I heard threw the grapeving M/T was working on a matching front radial to match their rear drag radial.
Joel, I saw those at SEMA, but the rep didn't have any firm information on them.

BTW, MT also has a radial sportsman tire coming too

Here's a couple pictures:

I think driving your car to the track--especially if it's 11's or faster is the *****.... A special breed of person....10's or 9's driving it in is downright Psycho! Only those doing it know how good it feels. WJ

It would be nice to have some that are a little taller,like 27.5 maybe so our abs works
properly and you can do a quality dump a the finish line.
