Default 275 dr = all 4 tires off the ground

Went to the first 275 drag radial race at roxboro yesterday and found out these tires do work! We had a hard time getting a handle on them but when we did heres the outcome. Only downside is we bent up just about everything that would bend. Thanks for Ryan(RPM-24) and Martin (TBSS@RPM) for the advice yesterday on making these things work.

it's great to see them working, but sorry to hear about the damage

I'm sure with further testing he will get it to work well.

well thats something you only want to do once. It's cool and all but you break a lot of stuff. Guess you need to mess with the suspension a bit.

No controller, just came on right off the brake. I had pulled 18 degrees of timing trying to kill power to get it to hook. We had spun like crazy the 3 passes before.

Threads like this make me laugh at all the people who run slicks on 10-11 sec cars.

I know, I would have hated for it to be dirty in the picture.
