Yea, that might be the 20" record. You need to put the original 17" wheels on the Hawk and see what you could do. I think MightyMouse made a 10 second pass with his street tires. I see alot of claims like quickest stock internal, cam only, this and that, well I want to know the record for 17" tires. I know that TwinTurboCE drives on the street with M/T drag radials (275-17), I wonder what that car would do at the track with those.

I ran 10.8's last year on BFG 315-35-17 in a 2000 Camaro, race weight was about 4000 lbs, auto, 382 and nitrous (bad converter)....I am shooting for a low 10 high 9 on some MT ET Street drag radials this year (275-40-17) with my new combo. I had 1.59 short times on the 10.8 runs. 17x11 rears and 17x9.5 fronts.

I thought street tires just had to be street legal?

Kudos to Mightymouse for throwing on the street shoes to see what he could do (look how much he gave up at the start). I always end up defending my so-so times because of running with more or less street tires. Nothing against stripped down race cars, but a few hundred less lbs. and slicks makes a dramatic difference on E.T..

On 315/35/17 555R Nitto's:
Best on the 17's with skinnies on the front: 10.98 @ 122 (1.51) backed up with a 11.14 @ 121 (1.55) from another day.
Best with 17's all around was: 11.34 @ 119.30 (1.58) I have no doubt it could pull out a 11.1's, but I've never ran that combo in good weather.
With a set of 17" M/T Drag Radials it would easily go deeper.
For comparison my best "Stock Internals" with 17's all around was: 11.86 @ 112.93 (1.59)
