First time with BFG drag radials and ran a 11.62 at 118, but drag radials were slipping about half as much as the T/A used to in 1st, 2nd and a little in 3rd with 20psi....dropped tire pressure to 16psi and broke another half-shaft at a 1500 rpm release I think the next run would have been well under 11.5!

It was fun while it lasted.

Going back to the T/A's and enjoying this season. This winter's project is a Ford 8.8", limited slip, 3.73, IRS. Will also change to 17" rims for better tire selection in road race events.

The BMW IRS is good for what BDR intended, but not for what I intend.

Anyone interested I have a deal on some 325/50/15 BFG drag radials with less than 100 miles. Also would sell the 15" Team 3 wheels with the BFG tires and about 4000 miles on them.
