Just ordered a set of Ga1r's in 18" from Weapon X. This will be my drag pack. Tires will be M&H 325 40 18 on the back.

Sorry rained all weekend, will go to the track in two weeks, to see what she lays down. I can say, without warming them up, gave it a good run on the street, they spun for a sec hooked up and off I went, never went sideways, I think warming them up reducing the pressure to 18lbs they will hook

Lots of good rubber to hook there!

The last pic is really throwing me off. Put your hand in front of the first half and it looks like a C5 on DRs (not a bad thing at all). Anybody else, or did I finally have a stroke?

I saw you on the turnpike heading S on Sunday afternoon in Orlando. I saw you coming up & passing on left (was in wife's Infiniti), as we were exiting.

My wife said the car looked... um... rakish lol

Just means it was higher in the back than normal.

I understand the traction issue, I run drag radials on the ZR as the regular tire. Thx for the props on the old beast.
