Default ET Drags, they get soft!

I put the heat gun up to my ET drag tires to see how soft I could get them. I was able to sink this pen into the rubber quite a bit. I'm sure they get even softer after a burnout.

My slicks are the medium L8 compound (et streets are harder m5 compound). There is one softer compound but it is only recommended for dragsters with little or no rear suspension.
