im the wrong one to talk drag slicks with you, could tell you a few war stories about round track slicks, but im sure you dont want to hear about them. go over and look at those big ass slicks i had on my pont. i bet you wouldnt spin them.

well how big were they? mine are 29 18.5's and i spin em to much

33'' tall, 15'' rim and dont remember how wide but it was pretty much wall to wall tire. i didnt need all that much tire but they looked good and somebody gave them to me. the fun part was i had a blower, so i could do a burn out through the lights. that was more fun than the race.

The ones I used last year were 33X18.5 ET Street. The tread width was 16" and Ill be damed if I could get them to spin off the line.

i couldnt spin these either off the line, but coming out of the burn out box i could play hell. i would smoke the tires in the box and never get out of it and it would spin almost to the tree, and i didnt have to stop at the tree on my burn out because i had a blower, so i could take my time stoping it. i dont know if thats a rule at all tracks.

The only thing I didn't like about the ET Streets is they didn't produce much smoke, but they didn't need to. Most of the classes are restricted on their burnouts to not go past the line. This year running Outlaw, I can go as far as I want, or the crowd wants.

you will love that. mine didnt smoke much either, but i had the zoom headers coming out at the back of the front tires and man they sounded good. had the flame to. like i say i loved that more than the run.

right now ive got 29x18.5 m/t sportsmans my im is a 15 but its 14 inches wide id like to get a set of hoosier quick time pros but ic ant run anything over 29-30 tall and trying to figure out tire#'s confuses the hell outta me ..........scooter.........BTW ill probably have to get a new set of back wheels mine dont smoke much either

i was just wondering has anyone read the new car craft? they've got a little deal on a smokey yunick 302 camaro made 486 with 60's technology just thought id share and see what anyone thinks..........................scooter
