    Any interest in Hoosier R6 315/40/16

    I don't check the Forum as much as I used to and just found out today when I tried to order tires that they don't exist anymore. Anyway I am sorry I missed the earlier buy last summer but I could really use tires, preferably before March. I would be in for 4-6 rears if this gets together.

    Uhhhhh......:willy:secret::secret::willy......uhhh......well.....I think losing the stock exhaust is good for at least a .6mph increase.....:wink.....if you know what I mean after 18 runs. :biggrin Barry I guarantee, and I don't do that very often, but I guarantee that you will crack 200 at the...

    With the rolling start there is not too much problem for the pulley guys making 200 as long as they don't have the stock exhaust. In a regular 1.5 standing mile event it will be close. The conditions are really the key for the standing start with the pulley guys. You need a little wind and not...

    Actually I was making the rounds to see who wanted a TT ride when Scott noticed my brake rotors were cracking and it was probably better to shut it down for the day. I had just finished taking Rick and I had Jim in the car and had to tell him we would have to wait until next time. I felt bad...

    Hey Chip, I am in 6th. The top of 5th is right around 232 before you get that friendly rev limiter reminder. :lol By the time I was off the throttle just past the finish line my Vbox read 236.8 so it was still pulling. It was a very interesting day and I learned a lot about turbo cars and...

    Whats the record for whipple supercharged Mojave run?

    Congrats on the BIG run!! I think sometimes with some of the crazy fast builds that are floating around out there, not just for the GT but also the lambo's (I have a friend that went to the shift sector event that saw a Heffner lambo run 229 in the half mile) that people lose sight the...

    Don't post much as it has been a crazy year personally and with our business but we did a little more driving this past weekend. :wink The weather was really cool, which was good and bad. Good for power but bad in that the car hit overboost in the setting that we normally run at on hotter days...

    Good Morning, Please move Summer (Mrs. Skyrex) up the list in the standing mile to 219.2 and in the 1.5 mile to 227.5mph. I just improved in the mile to 225.0. Guess I will have to wait until more extended runs in the fall to move up the overall list. :wink :cheers
