He got boned! they were told no deep staging or your out, well the car beside him deep staged so he waited for rich to say something. He didnt so jay was forced to line up and couldnt build boost before rich dropped his arms! cant do much with a 2.9 60ft

Yea i figured he had no boost with that launch i saw him kinda hesitate a second since i tought he was waiting for boost. Allwell i wanted to see him do better im sure he wanted to too especailly since there were not alot of imports there at all.

Yea i didnt say anything since i wasnt sure if you were gona be pissed lol. No imports ran good and they picked a low 9's class. And Ernie, i was wondering, im looking at getting some radials for my FD since i would like to get it to the track some time soon and see what you would reccomend? I will use the stock FD wheels and was looking at the BFG's(think it was the g force) and was wondering if the 255 will be good. Ill have around 500rwhp and i will not have two step.

Haven't checked any 16" sizes, but the Mickey Thompson ET Street radial is a fantastic radial tire for drag racing. Definitely worth checking out - and if you don't find what you need, it would be worth getting a pair of 15" wheels for the track.

With that kind of power, you shouldn't run drag radials. You'll get wheel hop and rip your diff a new ***. Get some ETstreets so you have some cushion on your sidewall to absorb the drivetrain shock.

I was up late last night watching Pinks All Out. Is your FD the black one? There was a FC vert that ran too but he was only in the elevens.
