Street tire fun.

I went out to the track today with some friends, I was going to just watch then decided to make a couple runs. I was figuring about 12.9-13.0 on the street tires. I remember last year someone or a group of people said I couldnt have in any way ran a 12.74. Well here ya go. Car 353, footballs pumped up and fronts at 30 psi. Tires are Contenental DWS tires(all season)

those are really good times for street tires. I've seen AGP Big Turbo SRT4's run mid 13's with the same and more trap speed. You sir can drive!

Yea, but street tires you spin no matter what, just have to regulate how much. These runs were with only 40% torque first gear lol.

I've always been curious, do you guys leave those footballs in all the time, or are they a "drag only" mod?

There in the springs all the time. Simply inflate and deflate at the track.
