Default Looking for some 18" drag radials

Title says it all. I need a set of used 18" ET streets or similar that has a few passes left to them. I have a customers 40 ford deluxe that I tuned several months ago. The car is going to be strip tested by Hot Rod magazine and the owner don't want to step up to a set of new ones that he's only going to use for a couple passes. If anyone has something shoot me a PM or an email.

Don't have them, but is that the car that was in the shop last time I was there?? If so that car is incredible I'm going to have to keep checking Hot Rod.

Too bad you can't use 17s. I have a pair of 335/35x17 Hooiser DRs that I'd donate. They are right at the tread bar so I doubt the tracks will like me making many more 10 sec passes on them. But they'd work for this. And they HOOK! I run 1.5 60s with them.

I will check with my friend to see if he can get a set of 17s on the car. Hey Bobby, yes that is the blue Ford 40 deluxe that was in the shop. I am hoping that they are going to give me an honorable mention in the magazine!

OK, let me know. I'll be going to Bremerton next Saturday, maybe we could hook up, provided I get some new shoes for the car by then....

I have a couple 315 30 18 BFG dr you can have. Good for a couple more passes for sure. Can still get 1.6x's out of them (did last outing), and are good for 1.5x's if conditions are just right.
