Drag Radials

We start at 20 on our DOT drag radials and go up from there based on track conditions. If you can slip into the 22ish range as stated earlier you'll be better off. Keep bumping it up until it spins and then come back down. From my experience they don't need much of a burn-out. Ours are Hoosier 28" x 11" x 16" on a 3200lb. C5 that runs mid 11s with a 1.53 60'. I've never noticed any "dancing" on the top end (only 113mph) with bias ply front tires but I've heard that before. We really like the Hoosiers and have used them on other cars before. Even though they say DOT it's pretty much a slick with two very thin narrow grooves.

even though this thread's title is "drag radials" the op is not asking about DOT tires, rather radial slicks.
