That is a good point made with big tires and not being necessary at certain power levels.
I use light weight 19lb wheels with 245 17s upfront and a 275 17s DR in the back. It may not look as nice as fancy 18s but I'll pass that up for weight savings any day.
Good luck with your run against the 5.0. You have a real good chance just don't spin the tires.

Seeing as how this is an 1/8th mile track, the race will be over by then. Traction will win this one. If he had the auto I think he could get you.

Remove the front sway bar for the race. It'll save 12-15 pounds off the front and allow better weight transfer to the rear. Might help on the launch enough to take the win with it being an 1/8 track.

In a real race, it would be ET. He'll likely out trap Nick though and claim victory for that.
