Tire Heights (should give gearing advantage):

If anyone wants to do a group 'Carlsbad Day'... sometime end of October or early November let me know.

I think it looks strange to have slicks on a near luxury car. But it makes since. I guess you've got a trailer for your car? Anyways good luck when you get out to the track.
BTW how do you think Bridgestone S03's, Nitto 555R's, Yokohama A032R's, Yokohama AVS sport's, Falken Azenis Sport's, stack up time wise vs. stock Michelin's vs. your slicks?

Another reason is that I might eventually go FI again... and having experienced the utter pointlessness of taking that much FWD to the track on DOT tires, these can come in handy.
It's funny because what it really comes down to someone like me that LOVES acceleration and drag-racing is the E.T. I could have 700hp and if I run 13's or something slow for that sort of power... what's the point?

Totally agree with you 100% it's tough to get any grip. I guess dragger tires are the equalizer against RWD cars?

Just curious as I have seen this done many times but never had the guts to just leave them.
