True street tire = bummer

So I hit the lanes tonight for a few practice runs on street tires. Lets just say this is going to be one tough challenge for a lot of guys, at least I know I'm hurting lol. I managed to a couple 2.0's 60 and some wicked sweet 7 second runs. Lol, I got dibs a mid 7 second setup can win this.

I was going to race Chris Heltra years ago with me on Toyo Street tires. After some thought I decided to just give him a big head start. I would of hit the wall trying to keep up. Chris won, I lived to fight another day. It's scary to have street tires on a light ass-end.

Yea it was a spin-fest last night on street tires... I might have to try out some bigger tires.

I did the same thing, switch from nitto 555rs to the MT et street radial and picked up .5 in the 1/8th still leaving easy.
