I will be running the car on 345-55-15 BFG drag radials. I have no clue what those tires will want as far as shock settings vs what we run with the 29.5-11.50-15 M/T slicks.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Nick.

The class is a heads up pro tree street legal car/tire class, so I'll definitely be in no-man's land with my current setup.

One thing's for sure, it'll be a wild ride!

The tires never had a chance. Man I spent 20 years wanting a bunch of power and now all I can do with it is make two 13" black marks on the dragstrip....starting off in 2nd gear!

Oh well, it was fun.

Have you tried the M/T drag radials? They are a pretty good radial tire for the strip. I think the BFG's are more of a street tire than a track tire where the M/T's are the opposite.

It was a one time deal. I figured I'd give it a shot, it paid 100 bucks to win.
