GOT VIDEO this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The T/A was my mothers car. Not trailered in. We were trying to figure out why with M/T drag radials at 12lbs in the tires, they were still spinning theirs asses off with a 3500 launch. I was trying to drive that damn thing but it would not hook up. We did noticed that the tire is spinning a little on the wheel. We're going back in a couple of weeks to try something new. I had a recommendation to try a higher tire pressure, 17lbs to be exact. It has a new clutch in it with almost 1000 miles. Don't think that the clutch is slipping because at 6500 it goes smoothly into gear and no problems at all with gear shifting. Don't know for sure but something's not right.
But I did see that "clifford" had a lovely backfire.

and clifford let a HUGE BURP out scared the hell out of the track guy right next to my truck.....he and i both thought it was "RAGE".....thus far virg says nothing is wrong....i pray it stays like that....
actually if your talking about me on my small radials...i did get it to hook at the end of the nite...just took some suspension changes...i went a 1.50 60' leaving in second gear...later i left in first and saw nothin but sky...it was fun!
the guy in the lanes told me at the end of the nite that he knew i couldent hook those soft compound street tires...he said he was sure i needed slicks to hook...guess he was wrong

i still have some tire issues to sort out and get a 2 stage setup ironed out.....SOON
I wanted to keep the warranty. but if you are looking for the ultimate....."NEVERENOUGH" (Martin ***) with the TBSS that went 10.63 in Memphis and has gone 10.21 since had a RPM Level V in his and it was "PRESTINE" when rodney tore it apart after Martin went to a 4L80E......
i use phoenix because i have access to them and they have kept it going upgrading as we have experienced trouble.....it works for me but others have failed using their setups......

Well I do know for a fact both tires were spinning during all of the burnouts. The only description I can give during those runs down the track was it was "weird" feeling. I've been doing this for years and years and have blown up plenty of stuff and this has me stumped.
