It is good to see that we can get all these tyres with extra grip over your basic run of the mill tyre (dunlope 3000as per stock), just wish they were cheaper that's all, that's where the MT street radials are out in front, ($275.00 a tyre) it make all these other tyres look a bit over priced, they are almost the same compound (not not as good), same ply side walls,

just dearer.

I run the maxxis tyres on my car.. The traction rating on the tyres is one of the highest I've seen.. Check the print on the tyre.. "Traction - AA"

They not a bad tyre.. Good to see you actually hook up with them on the track

Ahhh Danny, About time someone figured it out !!

Here is an update from last week that I posted under the WSID 13th August thread: (Just keeping the progress on street tyres in one location):

"Left home after 6pm, filled up with some Vpower Racing and then got to then track at about 7pm. My brother bought me a ticket earlier.

First run was at about 8:30, heaps of stoppages. Did a good burnout, left the line on 0 psi (19" Maxxis) and then it started wheel spinning and slightly fishtailing through 1st and 2nd. I tried to drive through it but when I shifted into 3rd the car got thrown sideways a few times heading towards the wall before I gave up the run ... 12.3sec@110mph 1.85 60'. Very interesting run!!

Second run: When I was stalling it up to launch I got a phone call and got distracted. The boost built up to 2 - 3 psi before I launched and it just lit them up off the line, 1st, 2nd and 3rd was just a smoke show... 20s@93mph with a 3.4sec 60 footer. This time slip will be saved with the 35s pass that I have when I broke a CV a few years ago.

Brian ran a few 132mph runs before broke, what I think was, a CV at the line. By the time I finished my second run he was gone.

I met Leigh from ETM for the first time and saw his Orange Ute ... Very impressive setup. He will do well once he sorts out the $2 intercooler hose clamp problem! ( I had the same problem a couple weeks ago!). I think he managed to do a few 1.5x sec launches and some 1/2 track runs...

There was a nice Yellow GT with black stripes out as well. It was owned by Pat's-Missus’s'-Dad. It was his first time at the drag strip and even though he could not get it to hook up he was having some fun. Not sure how he ended up.

Overall it was another very cold but interesting night at WSID. There were a nmber of other Xrs out but I cant report on any other results as the timeboards were not working again?"

I've got the flu this week and am not sure if I am going to make it out there this week ... Even though it was useless trying to put any power down to the track last week. I am still keen to give it another go ...
