Default 12.6 in the 1/4 yesterday

Here's a vid against a GTP, I bogged second and missed third and still beat him down by over a second..

here's another vid of a 12.7 run, again bogging 2nd, I had a very difficult time getting used to all the rubber on the launch pad...obviously...

Nice tires. I need to get me a set.

And great times on stock internals. I may not be a fan of Integras, but they don't weigh jack, they're aerodynaic as sin, and that little 1.8 sure can put out.

It weighs about 2650 + my 230lb ass + about 30lb fuel...not that light :joshers:

as for the BFG g-force drag radials = wonderful tire for traction but at the expense of very, very quick wear... definitely not suitable for street driving, I have about 3 dozen pulls on them, a total of 3 weeks of street driving (I throw them on sometimes for fun...) and they are all but spent. I will run with them one more time and that will do them in..then I will buy slicks..

so... why does your sig say that you ran the 12.6 on street tires, but you're talking about how great the TA's are? Not knocking, just wondering if I missed something.

Vids are cool. What boost pressure were you running?

BFG g-force drag radials are street tires. Anything DOT legal is a street tire, anything not DOT legal is a race tire.

would I run BFG drags on the street? Not for practicality's sake, they wear too fast. Bottom line is they are classified as street tires. h:
