Hey Greg. Are the Goodyears that much better than the MT's? Very impressive. BTW, good seeing you and the crew down in Bakersfield.

I'm a fan of the Goodyear. There are stock suspension cars on those tires in teh 1.1 sixty foot range; however, the same can be said for the M/T. Truth be told...I'm not spinning anymore on these Goodyears ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I hate to say it..but I have enough practice pedalling wheelies to know to give it a soft landing. Crazy thing is...I can even sense when the car is not going straight in a wheelie with no other reference than blue skies

Sure you didn't just cut a hole in the floor board so you can see the track? ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I became big fan of drag radials since i switched to M/T 275's. Both et and 60 ft's drop and the car is more stable at the top end. Nice launch Greg.

Last year when we tested at Infineon, we were kicked out on a Wednesday night for breaking the 115 decibel level limit with two passes - 1 @ 115.9 and one at 115.6.
So, in the wheelie pic, you can see our "Infineon only" exhaust system...don't know where its at, but it's definitely below 115 because we didn't get kicked out
