Default Re: Drag radials for the reunion

Hi AL,
I'm only refering to some give on launch,not going down the 1/4 fishtailing.I'd would guess the drag radials are a good compromise between polys and slicks. And it all depends how high the rpms are coming off the line.--------- Parts break on a car when they feel like.

You know, Mark, it may not be *that bad* of a thing to run the Nittos on there...I'd forgotten, but JJ was the shoe behind the Nova and Chevelle when they tested Pete's cars, and I'll guarantee you no one could drive them any harder than JJ! You can attest to that! Of course, the Chevelle did suffer from a broken axle tube, but Pete thought was on it's way out before the day at the track, but the Nova lived!

I say GO FOR IT!!!!

Try a set of the BF Goodrich drag radials,they BITE very well and not too much.I have a friend that has a set on his 55 chevy and he has a 750 H P engine with the Richmond 6 speed and it hooks really good and he has not broken anything yet.He drives the 55 like a maniac most of the time and the tires are holding up very well.
