im going to try to make it, ill prob be stuck on radials, i dont have time to go get my slicks, i get off work at 8pm

 

hmm...well i wanted to go to bradenton thursday, but i have off wednesday...maybe i'll go if nobody is going on thursday

 

What size slicks are you looking for Steve? I've got a set of 28 X 10.5 M/T's mounted on a set of 4-lug 15 X 10 Bogarts. If you'd like to use them tonight, give me a shout at the shop and let me know. I'll bring them out to the track with me.

 

you know ill be there...may or may not have slicks...but i will be setting a record i too am going for an 8.7 @83 went 8.9 at 81 last week so i think its doable see you all there even you vince

 

I hope the track is prepped well. Its gonna be hard to hook with the cold ass air.

 

i hope so too...i asked the guy if he preps all they way upto the stage lights ,becuase i was the first car to run and i spun instantly ...im not talking chirpped i mean raosted had to completly come out of it and jus coasted down the track ,this happened on the second pass to...granted i was torque breaking to almost 3K but i figured for the first damn car it should hook...anyway i asked the guy he said looking at my rear tires ,i dont have any tires...i said ...its FWD...as he looks at my brand new toyo T1S (arguablly the stickiest street tire)...im not sure if theres any vht betwwwn the lights?

 

joe i have some them at my parents house right across the street from you, im just being lazy, but i really do appreciate the offer. im definately going to bradenton sunday with them. i should probably go get them and try to sneak 1 or 2 passes in tonight.

 

They usually carry it out a little past the lights, but the problem is there won't be any heat in the track. I ususally try to get a little further back in the line and let the other cars get some heat in there. They still don't prep it like BMP though.

 

Toyo T1S Tread wear - 300

Falken Azina - 200

Nitto 555R - 100

MT drag radial - 000

Worst tire out of the group = Toyo T1S

 

acctually its 280 and none of the other tires mentioned are street tires...and most arent in my size
