    Run in the 13.99 and faster bracket and figure out you dial in! It is hard to do the heads up class and you better be right on with the lights.

    The tree isn't the problem, I have that down pat. I came in in third at the sshs because of traction issues.
    The car did 8 passes at 11.7* then I had some wheel spin and it net me a 12.00, that took me out the game.

    You can totally run your car, Billy. As long as it's over 4000lb you can run the brackets.

    Yes Sir, I have some hoosier bias ply with tubes ordered. I will be testing them next month at Ocala grutch match. I hope to come out the gate armed on with everything the cars got, if the tires hold I might see a 10.7 pass.

    Do you have bias ply for the front! The car gets out of control awful easy with the radial bias ply mix and is not safe to run that way.

    Mark White here on the site lost his car at the track due to the mismatch on tires. I refused to drive mine after that happened. I have both Radial slicks and Street legal tires for the car now. She goes like she is on a rail now. When I had the tires mismatched it was not safe at the far end.

    Looks interesting! They have a "trailer class" ?? wtf?


    Street Eliminator - 14.00 and Slower



    Heavy Eliminator - 13.99 and Faster

    Looks like I'm right on the line.
