Yeah hopefully the weather will be as good as it has been the last weeks or so. This weekend would have been just prefect. So maybe it will continue for the the next two weeks.

Hey are any of you running drag radial on a M6 car. I have some and i was worried if anyone ever broken a rear end or heard of such? Because I always hear of M6 cars broking rear ends ,but mostly F-body cars.

Don't do it without a DTE cage that will hold the rear and trany together, It's real cheep insurance, It will cost less than the tow home, Good luck

We're currently out of stock at the moment until the next production run is completed, but the good folks at ECS or Scoggin-Dickey may have a few kits in stock for you to purchase one.

What is the price of one. I don't have any intention on stacking my rpm to 2,3,4or 5grand and lunching it. I am only going to leave about 1000or 1200 rpm. I just dont want to have the traction problems that i have been having. I have have a best 60' of 2.1 and have went thru the quater at 12.93 @ 112 miles per hour.
