So we will see you at all the races now with that much disposable income? There must be a new stacker and a new toter in your future as well?

I have a really nice "Low Boy" open trailer! And an Expedition to tow it with!
I have not and most probably will never travel enough to warrant those money pits. Not that I wouldn't take one...got one for me?

If you can borrow or buy a run of different tires and different wheels. The best bias tire I think is the Goodyear 1909 D-5 for recovery and inital hook. Any of the D-4 compound radial Goodyears are very good.

Hey Guys... i decided to go with Pheonix 9x30 bias, like i had on it before...
They are super consistent and dont take hardly a burnout to hook. My car, with a little 4.10 gear and trw/solid lifter/home port iron heads, always did 1.50 60ft times, constistantly. One day, in good air, with my brother driving, (he was about 50-60lbs lighter than me at the time... went a string of 60fts from 1.482 to 1.491 (seven passes). I ordered them today!! THanks for all the banter and advice! I was mainly wondering if radials would work without trick springs in the front... when i get springs in it, im sure the rear is working good enough to try the radials....also, a 400 with more rear gear and higher stall, will help the situation

smart decision staying with bias slicks for your bracket car. Smarter yet had you chosen Hoosier.

I had a set of Hoosier's...didnt care for them, but this was back in 2002... the Pheonix's are really good tires...as im sure the Goodyear's and Hoosier's are... I thought the sidewalls were too soft on the Hoosier's... i know their radials are the shiznit.... Yea, its a bracket car, but , its a stocker at heart
I may never see the #'s that some of the E/SA cars are runnin' nowadays, but , i still gonna give it a try in the near future. Gotta do it, life is short!!
