Since I had never driven with slicks before, decided to take them for a spin on the street before taking them down the track at WOT.
Couldn't help but snap a couple phone pics before heading out however:
Did a couple test hits with them. Just some soft launches. Traction is...
Slightly unrelated, but is it safe to run the Hoosier slicks with my normal street wheels/tires up front?
I picked up a set of Hoosier slicks (28x10x17) mounted on some 17" Race Stars off Craigslist and would like to get to the dragstrip to see where I'm at but I don't have much seat time at...
Thanks for the tips! 4.5k and dump, I'll start with that.
Small burnout to clean 'em? Never used slicks before.
Trying to get prepared so I can represent the Procharger crowd effectively!
I just picked up some Hoosier Drag slicks mounted on 17" Race Stars off Craigslist. I don't have much seat time at the track but I'm hoping to post some decent numbers without dumping the clutch @ 5k (stock clutch, halfshafts, etc). Trying to get there tomorrow, we'll see how it goes.
Perusing Craigslist the other day and found a set of these:
28x10x17 Hoosier Bias-Ply Drag Slicks mounted on 17x9.5 Polished Race Star Drag Wheels with direct drill lugs and hubcentric rings.
Gonna get to the track soon and try not to destroy these halfshafts :headbonk:
Now to go...
As stated, it's very subjective. But my 3.73's in combination with a centri is manageable. The power delivery is smooth and linear with the centris so as long as you roll onto 2nd and have decent tires, it's not that bad.
