just like people have been running slicks on the streets for years, good for them. I see nothing wrong with them..............but


don't come talk shit to a guy setting on radials, about racing from a stop. your going to get shit for being on tires,


same shit different advantage!

now if you can talk them into agreeing to race then more power to you,

you seem to be missing the difference between mixing in a few gals of a 100 in to be safe and running all, leaded c-16.


to me that's two different things

I understand where you are getting at.......but having a domestic rwd will have good weight transfer, whereas the fwd will not. That is an advantage in the traction department right there.

I think you will pretty much have to use race gas in this day and age to compete. As long as you can drive it out....I dont see an issue. We are talking about cars with 800-900 rwhp here on some of the V8s and 400-700 on some of the very small import motors. Race gas is a must.

Again...I see it as....who will take the steps necassary to be faster. At some point..race gas is a necessary step. You can either use race gas to aid in extracting the extra HP...or you can limit yourself to 93 octane.

The only car I have ever seen that would compete on pump is Marks 240Z

Not for nothing here but race gas is a far cry from nitrous and if your gonna go out to race break down and buy some tires. Either that or stop crying. I'm no big dog but I use both to get any advantage I can.
