Oh, I thought you meant 11.50 and faster. My bad.

Helmet, driveshaft loop, metal valve stems on the drive tires, and your wheel studs have to stick out throught the lug nut the same length as the diameter of the lug nut. (If you are using slicks)

Thanks again. I never would have thought of any of this.

What is 66s elevation? I must be calculating DA wrong. I have calculated 2000DA in slightly cooler and less humid air. What is a good calculator to use?
