tested my drag radials at the track

as i get into this game more i realize the importance of proper equipment at the track. my last run at e-town two weeks ago was a 14.060 @ 102.52 mph with 18 in rims and street tires. fri at the track i did much better with the addition of drag radials. i put them on my stock spoke rims 16 in and oh boy what a difference 140 dollars make. here is the breakdown of fri run.
temp 77
relative hum 72
absolute barometer 29.01

r/t .113
60' 2.206
330 5.85
1/8 8.802
mph 82.38
1000 11.392
1/4 13.572
mph 103.94

thanks ceasar i will keep my eyes open for you cause life is not the same without drags or slicks what a difference. i have a crappy video of the run with a 14 sec 5.0 mustang boy was he mad. i didn't think much of the video but it shows why he got ****ed. its on my olympus digital camera. a new bmw m3 was also there running mid 13's we ran once and i beat him by 3/10 of a second.

A little bit of everything...


That was a great video, I can see why the Mustang guy wasn't too happy. Those drag radials have awesome grip....
