just to throw things out visually
left to right...
high 6 to low 7 second rail dragsters on a full slick
mid to low 6 second un stretched door cars on a full slick
mid to low 7 second stock suspension stock frame rail cars on a drag radial


thought it was intresting to see how big a dragster tire is compared to the 275's we run on

What is the overall height of the tire you run and the actual contact patch width?

think the new mickey is like 10.6 though. not sure if we are going to try them now or not. we have around 35 passes on the tires on them now.

What is the quickest you have run on that tire and what is the weight of the car?
