Results at the drag strip
I took my 70 1/2 ton to the track saturday night, and made one run down the 1/8 mile strip. I have very little experience at this. Short story shorter, I spun in first gear, spun in second gear and got sideways and then regained control when I hit third and ran a whopping 9.33 at 70mph. What a blast!
I plan on working to get that time down. I really need some tires. My big block has lots of torque. I'm looking for advice any and all.

Re: Results at the drag strip
Don't go through the water box next time, just go around the water, then just spin over the tires a couple revolutions (to get the crud off them, no big burnouts) Street radials get slicker the hotter they are, and try to lower your tire PSI down a bit...

Re: Results at the drag strip
Practice makes better as no one is perfect. And fun is fun no matter how fast you go. IMO both the other replies were spot on. RJ22
