Silverback,
Maybe they are just saying billboards aren't good for 1/4 mile drag racing. Perhaps they are good for other application besides dragging.

The Smackdown in Maryland
Folks,
First and foremost thank you to Tommy Goldstein from the Capitol Area Cobra Club for his generous offer to allow us to run our cars on his dime. A real gentleman. Videos are in HD, use the highest setting on your player.
Now.....
Let it be said, the Ferrari is wicked, putting in pass after pass in the low 11's, in automatic mode  . That thing is bad.

After too many passes to count the smackdown started.....(note the dark coloration at the rear of Blitz's pants. In addition, late in the video, he is seen rumaging through the trash can for time slips to destroy).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30APs..._order&list=UL
More smackdown with Blitz showing his underbelly..... 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z84-j...=22&playnext=1
Two CACC small block cars, one a 406 Autocross/road race car on street tires got a 12 flat and the other a 427 Roush small block cracked off a 12.2. Impressive boys.
On the negitive side my BB with drag radials launched great but then lunched the clutch. 
Thanks again to Tommy Goldstein for his generosity.
I don't care what tire Blitz uses, bet the Ferrari to take all 3.

Bill Boards and Avon's are great all around tires, but they aint drag race tires. Therefore, not matter which one, "they suck" for the purposes of this race.

SB51 -- I think there's some confusion about what Dan's tires actually are. He has some kind of slick that says (I think) "Goodyear Eagle" on them. But he says they aren't BBs.

There are Goodyear vintage ROAD racing slicks for Cobras that are similar in appearance to Billboards. http://rogerkrausracing.com/pages/pricing.html
Click on "Cobra cat". Not sure if this link will work: http://rogerkrausracing.com/racetire...ra+2011cat.pdf
I just watched the vids. I think I've had more commotion driving the cobra to breakfast on Sat AMs!

I feel pretty good about mine:
"The 458 Italia is beatable, but the Cobra's driver isn't good enough, so it loses all 3"

An empty track to use. That's got to be heaven.
You're a good man, Tommy.
