no nitto's are fine, there street legal, cant see anyone having a problem with them...
also there are Mickey Tompson drag radials that are street legal... from what i have seen they work well and are better priced but the sizes they come in are bad..

As long as the tyres have an Australian speed rating .. and are not DOT Approved ( as it's the US DOT ) then they are street tyres. There are plenty of semi comps out there that are legal for road use.

If you are racing on a track you make the changes that will get your car the best time, who cares if someone runs 18 psi on a race track..
Street trim ''wow'' i dont race on a street... the time you get is a ET, you record that time from the a race track..not on a street or public road...Drag Racing on a street is for nuff nuffs.. if someone wants to take there there a/c or run nitto's take there hard cover off big deal, there car is still road worthy and street legal, its just how much time and effort you want to put into this.. its all about going out there do the best ET you can.. .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry Brad off Topic you can have your thread back... Just spoke to Rod he pass's on his congratulations. awsome time mate, and 104.50 mph.. who is your tuner?

Well done Brad...great time done by the car!
As simon has showed, and as Jeff has showed the BA's have the power...it's just getting the right style to get them off the line and down the quarter quickly...trial and error is the best way and an educated foot! I cant wait to get out on the track again...everyones passing me! |

This is all l have to say. If people qoute times at the track they need to say what they have done to the cars to get to do that time as we all know these are not DRAG CARS they are street driven cars and we all know where the RESPECT is it's on the street not the track........

For a moment there Mark I wasn't feeling loved. Another thought, should us XR8 guys be in the same field as the GT boys? They've already had a head start on us by about 3 tenths in the stock tune.

Rodderz thats not a bad idea it's supposed to be a fun event l say no slicks allowed for street cars only the 12.00 seconds and under class allowed to use slicks this should make it fun.....Also are we having heads up racing..
