Default Re: Radial slick Q?

WOW! So I purchased the Hoosier radials that Billy Baker suggested. I took my car out this past weekend and it picked up even more than you guys figured it would. My best ever prior to this was a 10.96. This weekend it went a 10.84 second pass. The first pass I had to lift at 1000 ft, the track was so green, I was going straight as an arrow then all of a sudden it came out from under me and I crossed the center line twice. In 18 years of racing this same car that has never happened, so my first thought was the slicks, but after I talked with track officials, they checked it right after my pass, they said it was because they had scraped the track at top end and there wasn't enough compound down. I waited and let a bunch more cars go down before I went again, last to passes were great.
Thanks for the input guys. By the way, I ran 20 and 21 lbs, with no change, 60ft were identical.
