Default madman....black bitch's 60' times

what 60', 330 and 660' times were you guys consistantly able to make?

do you have any other shop cars running a 275 or 325 radial?
what 60' times were you able to consistanly get out of them? and how much do they weigh at race time?


drag radial Vs ET street which one is more consistant on 60' & 660?

when setting a car up for a DR are there any differances between a DR car suspension and chassis and a bias ply suspension and chassis...

are you applying the power the same on each tire or ramping it in slower or faster on the DR, according to the bias ply....

on a DR car whats the ideal weight percentage on the back tires?


Thanks,


Tyler

Probably 1.21, 1.12 would put that car close to the LOW 7 range on a drag radial.

Depends on the car and chassis setup, my friends car runs mid 1.3's on a 275 60 15 with a 3500 pound or so race weight and runs 8.30's usually in the mid 160's.

Also keep in mind the ET Street tire uses M5 compound which is not as soft or sticky as the drag radial compound, but has a more forgiving sidewall. For an auto I still think the drag radial is better.

The car has run 7.40@188 on a 1000 foot pass. So It has the potential to run quicker than 7.40.

But is has a sick motor in it now, they are down for a while.

I'm sure it could run a lot quicker, if they had a big slick on it would go a lot faster, but as fast as they have gone on a drag radial is awesome, those guys know how to get that car down the track, 1.2x on a drag radial is great.

We run 315s. But even on the 295s the car usually runs 1.20-1.23 60fts and 3.29-3.33 to the 330ft mark.

Power management and a killer chassis keep it hooked. The 1/4 mile mph was with us lifting at the 100ft mark due to the wrong gear.

Run the wrong spring rate or tighten the shocks too much and it'll be to stiff.

A stock suspension car likes it to be stiff.
