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!

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 dont know how many national, divisional, or world championships you've won..but the only thing a fast 60 ft is gonna get you is a nice class trophy and 30 points when you load up after round one cause you were racing to the first cone.. I runner upd at the firebird national last year dialing index in all but the last 2 rounds... my bro driving the same car again runner upd at the firebird national this year.. have you looked at the qualifying sheet and compared it to the winners of the events lately.. unless the winner drives a new underfactered factory bullet they usually aren't collecting the win with the fastest bullet or 60 ft at the track.. but keep wishing that will get you a world championship... oh wait you cant even show up and race with us I forgot..

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.

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