Pomona Stock Entry - Page 2

GarysZ24 · 12-28-2018, 06:16 PM

Thanks Dave and Randy, and I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas as well. That entry was my gift to myself, and I look forward to getting ready for it once I get back home. However, no more burnouts since Mickey Thompson no longer makes the slicks I use, so I only do dry hops. Eventually I'll have to change my wheels to 15's and start using the 22" slicks they still do make, but I may have to find some more horsepower too, since the taller tire will lower (numerically), my gear ratio. Oh well, that's racing right?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, & LET'S GO 2019 NHRA RACING SEASON!!!!

dry hops - - - there is a term hardly used anymore - I like it.

Thanks Ron, and they seem to work too especially at tracks that allow racers to drive around the wet burnout box to keep their tires dry.
