What's your best ever time with it ?
Most drag radials with a DOT stamp will work fine on the street if the road is dry. Of course they won't last long. They will be downright dangerous if the road is wet. It will be like driving on ice.I may get some radial slicks that are stamped DOT but say illegal for highway use. That doesn't make much sense but?? As radials I think I'd be OK on the street, just not in any rain since they have what is a joke for tread.
That's what I've been doing with the slicks and was hoping to get away from. But I'll wait and see. It's sort of a pain in the butt to do. Jack the rear up almost 1', put jack stands under the frame, let the rear down and change the tires. If the anti-roll bar is installed that also has to be let loose to allow the suspension to hang low enough to get the tires out, so I took it off completely. I guess I'm lazy.

I tried a pair of drag radials once, they were not a good as slicks and ET suffered. Another pair of wheels is the answer.

Yep.. very rare, so they always give him problems when he runs 'Strictly Stock'...
Don't forget the th400 and the 12 bolt! All 70's type of "hot rod" stuff, well except the tranny would have a pedal.

No need to make excuses Tony I gave up racing with the pedal about 40 years ago, I was breaking to may Munchies. I cannot imagine building a car with a Saginaw.
