Pretty quick video. You will like the drag radials...you will be getting a MUCH better launch, so make use of it. 11's....I don't know, but probably .1 or even .2 seconds.

Re: Bought some Drag Radials!!! (GrandSportC3)
Maybe you can add a hitch so you can use one of the hitch mounted racks to carry your tires and other track equipment. Damn we need a trunk! :lol:
I saw a old roadster that had a small trailer the had made to resemble their car, that would be cool to have a small trailer that looked like your vette to tow your track stuff.

I will put the tires into my other car which I have my girlfriend drive to the track and put the tires on there.. There's also a second reason to be there with 2 cars.. If something breaks - I can tow the Vette to my mechanic..

Re: (GrandSportC3)
Olivier,
Yeah, but you're not married --- YET !!
Good luck with the new tires - maybe some half shaft loops are in order ?
I like that "car" trailer idea. Maybe I'll use the left-over rear clip from my
'75 to make one. That would be so SWEEEEET !! :yesnod: :yesnod:
:seeya :cheers:

Re: (Daves_rusty_75)
Wish I had a pic Dave, it was pretty neat idea. I think the car was a 32 Ford but I am not sure. I saw it at the Woodward Dream Cruise along with another 100,000 cars. :)

Re: (QuickVet)
GS, what were your sixty foot times?
i dont think you will break anything. I run 1.7s in the sixty foot mark and i have yet to have a problem with my halfshafts.
