The 555R the drag radial, I got about 9-10k miles out of mine and drove in the rain without any problems. The best and only real DD drag radial imo. I had them before these worthless sumitumos that I have now, I noticed you have the same lol.

Nice runs guys. It was fun watching and talking to you guys, just wish I could have hung around longer to see some of those cars get down. I did get my PB so I was happy with that.

Well I just wanted to post up my time for today... I managed to run a 10.993 @ 125.61 mph! My 60' was a 1.659.... and the car felt good leaving the line. Although I had ALOT of issues with my suspension today, But I feel I have it dialed in the best it can be for now. I know where my attention needs to be focused. (My rearend and suspension)
For some reason the car launched REALLY hard to the right and the left front wanted to come WAY up in the air. Almost pulled the Left Front Wheel. But just not enough power or traction one!

Well I also want to give a big THANK YOU to Benny and Ben for all of their help with getting my car to reach my personal best of 10.99 @ 125 mph!

I really appreciate all of the help, and right on Benny for letting me use the tires.

Well to say the least, I was so frustrated that if I didn't make a 10 second pass in the next 2 runs I was going home. And my NEXT pass was a 10.99. LOL

Thanks again man!
And sorry I had you frustrated too lol.

Congrats again on the 10 sec pass James. Damn that thing does launch hard! You need to seriously look into getting a 12 bolt.

Thanks man!
But I've decided to go with a 9 inch due to their ability to take just about whatever abuse you can throw at it.

And you should look into some PS LT's and an ORY Pipe... haha
I know where some are man. (wink, wink)
