I've never run anything but slicks but I'm guessing they call them "drag" radials for a reason. Put them in the water and heat them up.

Many will not allow "treaded" tires into the water box. They track water up to the start line.

go through the burn out box and light them up for a good 8-10 seconds
even though they do have some tread its not as deep as regular tire tread, and these tires need to be heated up nicely in order to get maximum traction

You got an LSD? Cause if you don't you'll just be lightin' up one tire.

definitely go through the water area to get the tires wet so there easier to spin.. then pull ahead of the box and light them up until they both smoke and are nice and hot.. hence the purpose of drag radials..

well its bracket racing, like 10 saturdays out of the season there are points nights, basically each round u win in elims you get a point, the person with the most points at the end of season gets cash and a jacket, well the top4 get cash and a jacket, but i want the one that says champion under my name :)
its not too late to join but you've already missed 2 events and first place has like 11 points
u can email cheryl@etownraceway.com if your really interested she handles points
