sleepercorty Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 scored a pair of MT drag radials for the big girl 225/50/15s should fit and sit nice with them on, got them for powercruises but thinking i might give them a hit at the drags and see how well they bite, sorted a few rear suspension dramas out to hopefully will be interesting to see how it goes now, thinking i might take it down in the next few weeks, got to tidy few things up on it for a photo shoot too so looking forward to that ! :dance: i may have to venture down in the next few weeks for some runs aswell if mine lasts the dyno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR KE30 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Well I'm all entered and ready to go for the first proper race meet in the big girl pro sheet shoot out on the 12th march should be a good day out got a few mates racing as well, i was silly enough to enter outlaw radial so I'm up against the king himself !!! so my goal for the day will be to drive the car back onto the trailer at the end of the day or 2nd place would be nice, 2 rollas on the podium would be sweet as i think, i really don't know what to expect with my car running these 225/50/15 radials wait and see i guess.
