I can tell you that his driving isn't to blame. The track wasn't in good shape, but it wasn't the tracks fault IMO. We have had a lot of rain and some ice the past few weeks and this weekend was the first nice weekend that we have had, so a lot of cars that had bugs showed up. One Chevy II came to the line twice, pouring all over the starting line and like Guitar said, a bunch of imports showed up.

My car wouldn't hook and I kept waiting for the track to come around, the track staff kept dragging it and spraying it, but it just wasn't working.

When I drove Guitar's car, the first thing I noticed was the clutch has little room for error and the second thing I noticed was that when I was doing the burnout, the tires would never get sticky enough to start pulling the motor down. My first burnout, I swear I held it for what felt like a minute, waiting for the tires to start pulling the motor down. The car couldn't find a happy medium, either you left with the rpms lower and it bogged, or you left minimally higher and it spun. I'd like to see him swap tires, just to rule them out, but it's hard to blame them with the track as bad as it was.

I think they are on their last leg either way, doesn't look like they have much treat left on them. I'll have a garage here too (well...there's one at my new place if I ever get moved the **** in) so that'll help the not sitting in sunlight aspect of it and hopefully keep the life of them up. Either that, or I'll buy the Welds I want and sell off the fronts, keep the rear Racestars and throw some stiff wall slicks on them.

That's not terrible by any means and it's been 1.77 on a radial as well and less MPH with the radial then with the slick on the top end. It's not slowing me down. It's not way too much tire, lol. My suspension is set Konis on full soft up front and Torque Arm in second from top (I think) hole - forgot to check pinion angle last time I was under the car, and LCAs in lowest hole I believe. The suspension is not setup for drag racing as that wasn't what the car was initially intended to do. You can ask Heater about the track and launches if you want because he saw them outside the car albeit down the line, no videos from side yesterday but the track wasn't holding much either way.

Priority now though as soon as I get back is to sell the Z06 and get a C6/CTS V depending on the prices/options I find. If I get a C6, I'll most likely get another cheapo fbody for a daily.

If so I'm glad I went with the ET streets over the QTP's

The ET street has the same sidewall as the stiff sidewall Mickey's

I guess not. Says "ultra soft drag race compound"...so IDK honestly.

Maybe I'll try the MTs just so I have a comparison between the two. Can't hurt I suppose...and I run MT fronts. I just read that QTPs are better on mileage and just a better tire in general from everything I've seen.

Also gonna try what Hio said. Why not?

I remember when I was young and naive. I would began to dig a hole then realizing I was in the wrong, I'd just kept digging in hopes nobody would see me. lol. Mac is about 6ft under about now.

Reverse google image search, and the engine bay it was, he cropped out the watermark of the photographer. From 2006. Belongs to some guy named Jason in Chicago it looks like.

Hit him on direct message about it, because I didn't want to blow up his spot on instagram on the public view.

I'm gonna make at least one more outing on these tires here, probably a few more, just because I don't really feel like buying any right now.


Just went out and looked at the tires...there is barely any life left I think. The tread lines were down very low...pretty damn close to being flat to the tire lol. Maybe I shouldn't go out with them again.
