Drag Radials

[Ed Wright]

Don't have a picture of it to post, but this morning Todd Patterson just went 1.270 in 60' at Vegas, foot braking on 9" tires in the 2012 COPO Camaro Stocker I'm helping tune that he is driving for Husky Liners.

quick 60 foot for sure but one would hope that a ~ 3200 lb. purpose built, hand built, $100,000 stocker, whose prototype was designed/engineered by MPR, a car that is nearer to $125,000 going down the track, powered by a purpose built EFI 427 SBC designed specifically for this car, for stock/super and which is the result of 50+ years of R &D and that makes more power than any factory BBC, would be able to achieve that 60 foot.

Not so impressive when you consider that my former ride, a production passenger car designed/engineered prior to 1968, built on an assembly line in early '68, that accumulated over 100,000 street miles before being restified over 2 years starting in late '85 that upon completion, sat under a cover for 4 years before being transformed into a weekend street/strip car with bolt on parts that 6 years ago 60 footed 1.28 off the footbrake while weighing 3880 lbs. and still retaining it's full factory interior including the factory console and staple shifter along with power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel as well it's ALL steel body and bumpers.

BTW, my Chevelle 60 footed/ET the same on 9" radials as it did 10.5".

Now here's a guy with an ego of enormous proportions! I'm surprised you never "hit it big" on Pinks!

Again, what part of the TRUTH and the FACTS don't you like?

[Scott Loge]

These guys are funny....

here's what I can say and know for truth

78 Volare 318 auto at 3375 lbs on same day same track went from 12.68 w/ 15 lbs in bias ply to Hoosier Radial at 20 lbs and picked up 7 and 1/2 hundredths. went 12.605 .
Air ,wind,driver BS all same.

Hope this goes to your original question.

Which is exactly what kind of car we are about to put these on.. mr 1320 I dont know you from adam but I do know that I have posted some pretty specific info on what my car is/has/does.. you may have 3 million runs with radials but when im talking about a 9" tire in a lighter weight(3100lbs) car with very little power.. 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

I think, mainly, people don't like that you're a cocky asshole.
