running bias ply slicks and radial tires can get scary in a hurry. you dont really ever want to run this type of set up at the strip .makes the car feel almost like its on ice at the top end .


I've done it 100's of times.... its fine at our street/strip car speeds. I do agree though, if you're going to being going the speeds needed for parachutes (150+), then I wouldn't mix them.

CC, Barona is technically speaking 1725 feet at the track... you'll see listings of it at the various dragsites of 1600-1700 ft, but the starting line is a little over 1700 ft. Irwindale is somewhere around 1000 ft lower.. you'll run considerably faster. (On my old motor, my best 1/8th et's were from Irwindale)
