I just bought M/T 26 - 10 - 15 ET Drags and had them mounted on 10 holes. I ran them at the track for the first time which for the record was fun as hell!!

Neways, I kept track of where the slicks where lined up with the rims and I saw that one of them swisted about an inch.

This was with 15 pounds and I'm afraid that if I drop them to 12 where I want to run them they might spin and break the seal leaving me with a couple of flats.

Question: Can I "SAFELY" put screws in them myself or do I need a professional to do it??

Thanx,
Jason

Thanx ratrapp... who by chance sells those??

Jo... I ran (2) 13.5s w/ 1.8 '60s and I pulled a 1.7 '60 but missed 3rd so... I'm thinking with a better tune and another 1.7 '60 13.4s and 13.3s are very reachable. Just gotta keep the rubber on the rim

Thanx again ratrapp...

Jo, the E7's will be gone next year for sure... funds aren't plentiful enough right now for that. I'm currently just lookin for some tricks to see if I can slip into some high 12's before the heads while staying NA. You should definately get your car done (I bet it's gonna be sick) and come out before it's too late!!
