You have come a long way since Bowling Green. Congrats, that is a killer 60 foot time. Your ET seems to be falling every time I see you post, I wish I could say the same.
Later,
Joe

Hey Doc...You need to slow down...I don't want you to break anything...I am only thinking of you!!! And how am I ever going to get enough practice in to catch up?!? :shocked:


And for John and Rich, I got a reply from the BFG guy, and he is out of the cheap drag radials...(figures)...So I guess I have to pay retail...I hate when that happens!!!

What were you running on street tires? What were your 60' times? I think I'm gonna order some of those!

on street tires i think my best was like a 12.3 or something, it was also my first time drag racing at beechbend, so, i wouldnt entirely say the tire change was the sole factor in the vast difference of my times as ive tried to race at least once or twice per week since beechbend and im sure the practice has helped much also. ive got still a long way to go but man is this shiit sure is fun and addicting, LOL
