    LOL...i thought my bogs where considered bad!!! urs is HORRID!!!

    I didnt even hear u rev the motor.

    But I am 100% with you, that I personally need 6k plus RPM revs before I slip my clutch.

    This is considered bad for me....little slow with my left foot on 3rd to 4th.

    Only on the Mach1. The swayyyyeehhhhhhhh!!! on the Termee is too much for me. Almost crossed the center lane...big no no! So I said, Eff It. Run my M/T DR's and funny thing was the stock clutch couldnt handle it.

    I liked the fact that I could drive the M/T DR's on the street, lower the pressure a bit and make a few passes. Last as long as the bias ply too!!!!

    Well, if not driving on the street.

    Sad deal is that it needs Good Prep or a few big fat tired cars to run before me so that I could follow their foot print at the launch. I couldnt care less what they did after the 60' marker.

    I too switched to ET STREET RADIALS but i didnt like them for the track. I would have to do a long burnout to get them to hook and that just kills th etread on them. IMO the ET STREETS are much better for the track, DR for the street.

    LOL your right my bogs are nasty, but I never cut a 1.79 or slower 60#

    Agreed

    Bias Ply version can handle the little to almost NON prep tracks far better than the DR's, but if you do have an event with serious prep...a long burnout actually makes the bog worse / learned the hard way.

    I still cant beat the 1.56 short time of the DR's....The Bias Ply tires requires a seriously fast release of the clutch which I want to avoid.


    what gears do you have by chance?
