[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mach1Pony: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by stateokunfusion: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by need-a-cage: [qb] I hope to be there, but I will be on my bike. Jersey, you were running on ET Streets. So, do you mean that you want ET Street Drag radials? I know Vince will fight me on this, but I don't think that you will get as good of a 60 ft with the drag radials. However, the car will go much straighter down the track and be more stable. You won't have to worry about lifting if you wiggle the steering wheel a little when you shift. The ride sown the track is much more interesting on the bias ply tires with only 13psi. Craig [/qb][/QUOTE]What type of bike do you have? Mods? [/qb][/QUOTE]Craig has a Kawasaki Zephyr 750 (90's vintage). He has a Vance & Hines 4-into-1 Megaphone pipe and jetted carbs. He also modified his air box and removed all the smog BS. He's dipped into the 11's on a good day @ 106 mph. As for the tire discussion, I too want to get a pair of the MT Drag Radials. Vince has pulled off a couple of 1.5's so I know they hook. I run the ET bias plies now on 15" rims and with the weak side wall the car dances a lot especially if you jerk the wheel like Craig was saying. I would like get the radials and mount them on my 17" rims instead of having the ugly 15" black truck rims I have the bias plies mounted on. I will have to get use to not shocking the tires off the line. Thats one thing I like about the flexible side wall of the bias ply tires... it's very forgiving and easy to launch. I can get low to mid 1.7's with about 310 rwhp on my '03 Mach. If I could get the same 60's with the drag radials I will be happy because with radials I should be able to break 110 mph. If it's not raining (sorry I even mentioned that word) then I'll be there! Ron. [/QB][/QUOTE]
