6.60 Comp eliminator dragster 200 mph 1.000 60 ft times 14 wide tires, solid rear 240inch car 1600lbs tire shake later in the day at LODRS englishtown, 1st 3 rounds eliminations not a problem .

any ideas? tire pressure up/down leave softer harder or was it just the track that day?

My car is not as quick as yours it's a 7.00 smallblock but I have had this happen to me at the Lebanon divisional . The first time it shook it was right at the hit . The car dead hooked and shook real bad . So we tried raising the air pressure from 6 and a half to 7 lbs . The next pass it spun and then it shook . I really think raising the tire pressure helped but when we made the second run it was right after the alcohol cars ran . I think that the alcohol cars actually tear up the rubber on the track . The next day the car went right down no shake at all . Next race at Epping not one problem with shake tires at 7lbs. I run the 12x33 Goodyears on mine
