UTI drags Went out to the track at Sealy today. 1/8th mile track, nothing too fancy, but allot of fun. My car was running shitty, still throwing codes at me everytime I turn the ignition key on. I bought some BFGs Drag radials, DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES! I was told that they hook well..... 
I was still spinning my tires at the half way mark it seemed. I wasnt even dumping at high rpms.....2500rpms on the first 2 pulls...results were a 9.27 and a 9. something worse. The last two pulls I walked it out of the box and still could not keep traction.....those pulls resulted in an 8.7 and something else in that range, 8.89 I think. Anyway, It was a good time. Got to chat with some good guys. Now to fix that traction issue......any ideas?

As far as the tires go, LOL. People are running 7's and 8's on bfg drag radials, and there are probably quite a few 10 second and maybe even a few 9 second drag radial cars on this forum with countless 11 second cars running them. I would not dis a product just because it does not work for you. I bet you could give those same tires to another person and with their set up they could probably lift the wheels.
I don't know how many cars I have seen get on the bumper and or run single digits with them. I don't have them, and am not pushing them , but I don't think it's good to be against something just because it does not work for me. Maybe you could use some suspension work, or pressure change etc.
