Theres more sizes than just 225 in the Hoosier's. Coming from people who have used both, i have been reccomended the Hoosiers as they hook up better.

Its not just the times that get ou in trouble its the MPH. I thinks its 115mph where you have to have a tailshaft loop and 4 point harness. Theres more rules and regulations than you think.

yeah they'll kick you out if your ET's are too low, if your 60ft is too fast or if your terminal is too fast. A mate of mine has an AC Cobra with an EB's 5L in it and T5. Can't remember what diff. His 2nd pass down there was 12.0 and he got booted. He asked if he could practise launching and back off after the 60ft marks but they wouldn't allow it until he had proper roll bars as well as the 4-pt harness, tailshaft loops etc.

I know it's slightly different with the cut-offs being an open top and all, but the concept is still the same

Yeh. but I only have 16" ba steelies to put the tyres on. And I think there either 6.5" or 7" wide. So the 255 M/T wont fit would they. But the 225 hoosiers will fit. Either that or I would have to get the steelies widened at $100 a wheel which isnt possible with my budget.

Would love to go wider but money is my enemy at the moment.


I might get kicked out than. Im doing 114mph with no traction. Wonder what I will get with traction.


Benxr6t if I need some tyres I will let you know. Cheers mate

Was busy today installing a fire extinguisher for powercruise. And also installing the CB radio in the car with the arial on the rear. Im happy with the final result. Im on Channel 13 if anyones ever on. Dont forget to bring radios to cruises people. So I can talk to yas.

A few pics.

nice neat install reminds me to find install possie for my extinguisher.

oh and ten four good buddy lol

"Rodger that". hehehe

Romeo that, roger-dodger! haha

I f***en copped it when I had the UHF in mine... maybe it's cos I had spotties as well though..... hrmmm

does that extinguisher have a tag on it? (i cant see one in photos)

because if it doesnt, you probably want to source one with a tag.... because a lot of events (that require extinguisher) wont allow you in if its not tagged (and in date)

Oh that reminds me i need to get a extinguisher, where is the best place to get one?

Dan....you can get good 1kg metal ones from supercheap...there properly high quality lagit ones....for about 20-30bucks and there refillable

Shaun im getting a CB...a good hand held one for cruises......eventually

Thanks.

come out shmick mate

If you run slicks, You must run Front runners (cross ply's).

If you can spare it a set of slicks and front runners will pick up a few mph and perhaps a few 1/10s, due to the less drag, but all up you might be looking at 2 -2.5 grand for a new set front and back with front runner rims to match.


Looking good Shaun, will be interesting to see her in full flight again, hopefull a few 11's and plenty of smoke.

if you could pick yourself up a pair of cheap xr 17's. you could run mt street radials 275/40's. run them on mine highly recommend them. i get 1.9 60fts with them leaving the line with no boost. you should be looking at 1.8ish at least beings yours is pd blower. you may even find your mph comes down a touch with the lower 60 ft you will be making it to half track quicker therefore dont have as much time to cover second half of track.
