Slicks usually put the power to the track? Since you said you where spinning the tires.The Dutchman [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] </div></div>
Benny, I'm currently using M/T ET Street tires which, correct me if I'm wrong, are very close to ET Drag tire except ET Street tires are DOT approved. They are a couple of years old but haven't been used very much.....until now. Kurt

Just went the way all the others did. I went through cars like underwear and just traded up. I have posted photos of my 69 here before. It had a 427/M22 with a low rise 2x4 set up and was LeMans Blue white stripe. Unfortunately, I never took the car down the 1/4 mile. Loved that car!!!!

Here you go Dan. God I miss that car as it was fast and a blast even with no headers. These photos were taken approximately early 1981. Mine was not a 300 Deluxe so hopefully that was not what you were expecting.
