After seeing that thing launch you would think he would have been on the way to a 1.1 60ft, but this was not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 10m 7d Posted 27/10/07 10:32 PM Share Posted 27/10/07 10:32 PM That first launch I swear was quicker than what you ran. Who knows there might have actually been a 10 in that if the beam was breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are intended to be a track tyre, but are the most stickiest things on the street. Not sure how they would go if used down the strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
