Subject: Re: My first time: Barona 1/8mile Drags by NelsonV on 2011/10/25 3:22:04 I guess I have a few options. 1. Find some bias-ply drag racing tires and wheels for the front. Out back, run the drag slicks I have now (28X10X15) on steel wheels (15X8?) with 1/4 inch spacers to clear the rear discs/calipers Andy made me buy. (Before this weekend, the slicks had never seen a pass. But they're old and showing early signs of dry rot.) 2. Run my front street radials (275/45/17 on 17X8 forged wheels). Find some drag radials to mount on the 15X8 steelies (or even new tires AND wheels out back). 3. Find some bias-ply drag racing tires and wheels for the front. Out back, replace the aging slicks as well. Go balls out! 4. I originally set this car up for the street (well, except for the motor) and don't really wasn't intending to make it a race car. Should I just call it "one and done" for racing? I really just wanted "to get an idea" of what the car can do.... Nah, that's not my style! Thanks for all the input so far guys! Keep em coming. By the way, I am not necessarily looking for streetable tires. Edit: beachbum just saw your post. Would love to read that article! |
