I, among many others, don't care what you think sir. I'm to the point where ... when I see your avatar ... I skip over your comments.

Hence the 1.60 short times... I dont know why you feel yhe need to tell me about your 1.28 60ft in your huge tire car with a big block weighing more than my car.. whether you think its stock or super stock legal except the motor is irrelavent.. it doesnt even help the slightest.. then we have guys coming on here giving relavent info and I have to weed through all your **** to find my answers cause you think we all race to the first damn cone... I appriciate you trying to be helpful but for future posts id rather you left your opinions out of my threads.. thanks

Thank you. Couldn't have said it better myself. I appreciate your comments.

Even though your post was about radial slicks I would think that DOT drag radials, especially Hoosiers which are essentially slicks and are NOT street tires, would offer you another data set to go by. Good luck with your new combination and keep us posted on how much it picks up.

this is an 88' mustang around 3100ish pounds 60's in the low 1.60 range @ 6000 DA as of now but we changed the rear gear from 4.88 to 5.13 as well. so I don't know what the 60's will be with the 28x9 until next weekend then we'll run the slick after we have a baseline with the old tire..

thanks guys
Brad
This is the original start to this thread.......Brad, start at 20 lbs cold, they will heat up to 22ish. Depending on your rear shocks, you can adjust from there. Loosen the shock if you spin at all.....

I ran an 8" wheel. 4.5' back spacing if I remember correctly. and a 30" tire. does someone make a 28" now?

Re: Drag Radials
 
No bob still only make a 30... we were told 5.5 bs so we'll see oh it fits..

Re: Drag Radials
 
mine was tight, inner needed hammer work and had to trim the rear a little. look forward to seeing you guys out again!

Re: Drag Radials
 
I am sure you guys know this, but it bears repeating.....we have stockers running in the 8's at over 150 MPH on 9 inch tires.....it shouldn't be too difficult to get a lower class stocker to work on the same tires......spend more time developing HP....it will solve a lot of problems...
A short story for ya....about 40 years ago, I was racing and not too fast.....I was under the rear of John Wilsons SS/B car to check out the suspension....a fellow racer tapped me on the shoulder and said "you are looking at the wrong end of the car"....I haven't forgotten that.

Gary,
If the back of a fast race car is "The Wrong End" then why did Bill Jenkins kick me in the A** when I was looking under the rearend of his Vega?
Humm,
I guess he owes me an apology because I was looking at the wrong end..

Re: Drag Radials
 
Hey Adger,,,I am sure that you have forgotten more than I know about going fast.....LOL... Very simply, what I was trying to say is that a mediocre suspension and a killer motor is faster than a killer suspension and a mediocre motor... that's all.

Gary,
Flattery will get you everywhere. Thanks. Point is made... Horsepower is our mistress, oh what a dirty bi*#H!! :~)

Hey Hp hunter. M. Beard has talked about a wheelie contest at the Northern Class Nationals. How about you and Ed . settle it there. Just get it on in front of all us old timer Class Racers. I'm pretty sure after Ed was a little sassy to M. Beard and has no memory of talking to him Beard might help get him there.
We might even take up a collection here on Class Racer and help with the entry expenses.

How about it.
You two put up or shut up.
On second thought how about you two put up and shut up..

You could be like Deb Jackson (@ PPPC) and say BaAAAAAdger
She usually puts Badger on my orders where it says purchaser.
I do like a little fun out of life. I've figured out too many people take life too seriously. BTY: Is "demoralize" one of those new generation words for our old timers "Kick ***"? If not, translate please? :D
