Summer tires? www.mickeythompsontires.com they make other options for you, including drag radials and a new thing called slicks. Let me know...
and I have a 10 bolt so slicks wouldn't be a very good idea. Again, not much $$ to throw down for some prostars and MT's.....
Most street racers just have regular all season or summer tires if their car is only for the summer. So whats your point? Me and 90% of the other f-body owners don't get traction when it gets cold out
Sorry we don't all have race-cars with a 9" and slicks so we can keep up with you fast guys when it gets cold out. I guess all us pussies just put our cars away for the winter...and the tracks close. I guess all the track owners are pussies too.... wait... that brings it to like 95% of people
Let me know.

Z8-Bobs bike was a blue 1975 Kaw 900 that ran pro stock,I am his best friend and went to every race he entered from 1980-to the last race with the bike which was the US nationals at indy in 1985,1986,he missed the field both years.He ran pro gas the first two years with the bike,then went to pro stock,We ran people like Terry Vance,John Mafarro,Superbike Mike The next year he sold the bike.Bob lived in Chicago Heights on W 19th steet,then moved to Homewood when he got married in 1988. Now he lives in New Lenox.You might have some one else in mind!

Street racing is fun as hell. People still use that spot where folks were racing PewterZ Mark, like I think one race was with Silverghost and another one might have been Intmd8? Maybe around Naperville?

"street" racers here carry vht in the trunk and run on slicks. evidently you're not familiar with street racing. any car with any amount of power is on some sort of sticky tire when it's time to run, be it a drag radial or full on drag tire. if you race on a street tire, you must be awd or enjoy thowing money away.
