Default Re: Drag radials for the reunion

Mark, I'm sure it would be neat to see a high caliber driver take the car for a blast and turn a good E.T., but I'd give you a lot more credit for doing it yourself.

I don't think you'll have to worry about bogging the car, but you may have to have the R's around 2,500~3000 if you are running a radial. Without slicks, you will not have to worry about breaking unless you start leaving the gate at the same RPM you shift at.

If you need any support in the pits, I'll be there ready to help anyone who needs it.

Cheers to you!

Paul Tholey

Make sure everything is tight like the traction arm U bolts or it can torque steer you into the other lane. Empty parking lot with nothing to run into is good to practice and experiment with different rpm starts. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
