I forgot how much fun racing is, make a pass get back up in line and wait for 2-1/2 hours while they fix the electrical issues with the lights then go racing then a guy oils the entire track down.

It takes a special type of stupid to do this!

I took the 29.5-10.5W off the car and put a 315 drag radial on it and it is a night and day difference how it drives.

It is much more stable with drag radial.

You might if the track prep is poor. Glad to hear you're back out.

Lil jack,
Glad to hear that you improved the cars drive ability for those Friday night beer runs.

But for the comparison to be any wheres close to even you would have had to replace a 10.5 with a 265/275 DR.

No, not really. A 29.5-10.5W has a 11.2 tread the 315 PRO drag radial has a 11.4 tread.

Both fit on the same 14" wide rim

Lil Jack,
So no honest in labeling.
A 10.5 is really 11.2 and a 315 / 12.4 is really 11.4
