a two step is next on the list, to make things easier. Eventually putting a real clutch in it will be the kicker but i dont have enough money for that.

I am more talking about a lock up/soft loc, or however you would like to call them. But they start at a pretty hefty price. About the cheapest you can get into a new one is around 2700-3k

Something in the 22x and mid .5xx range should treat you well.

bought front runners yesterday. I swapped out my 2 17" 245/75 spares for 225/55's. should compliment well. Considering I decided to look up a couple things, I found that my old tires(Kumho ecsta 275/45/20) weigh 6lbs a piece less that the Sumitomo's I just got in march. 41lbs a tire + powder coated 20s = TONS of rolling stock haha. Come on 12s!

In a way yes. I was there running QR and TD. I had NO problems what-so-ever running a 7.31 @ 186mph though. They said a bunch of the super stock guys we're having problems getting down the track and could not "legally" cancel one class and run the others.

Something was a little strange with the deal because earlier this year they had canceled Top Sportsman and ran the other classes. I guess thats what "money" can do for you

I know it's not hooking like it should, but I definitely wasn't blowing the tires off. Went consistent 1.08 60fts in the blown dragster and 1.12s in my dragster. Both are hardtail dragsters.

I figured the bigger tire cars would be ok, I am assuming The stockers in IHRA are running a 9in slicks like nhra?

Do you think they will get the problem solved or is IHRA going to drop the track all together? Its a huge deal to cancel a race....
