30x9 Radial Slick For Brackets

Phillip marvetz · 01-13-2015, 02:09 AM

I was lucky to get 30 passes out of the radials before they went away. The bias plys on the bracket car would last 3-4 seasons and would hook with the cords hanging out of them.

Thanks for the information guys!

There are a few bracket racer's that are doing very well with Hoosier radials. I figured I would give them a try. I will still have my 29.5x9 MT's if I don't like the radials. They will both be taken to the track.

As for the light burnouts. I already have to do them with the MT's. The L8 compound doesn't like a lot of heat. I got about 50 runs on the 1st set. I have around 100 on the 2nd set by doing a very light burnout.

Also, we are using a 1.76 glide. We are moving the car from S/Pro to Pro this year. Not sure if we'll use the transbrake or go back to footbraking.

Go with c07 compound for. Brackets. We usually get 150+ runs on them. Most of the footbrake cars in our area run radials.
