I HAVE NEW M/T DRAG RADIALS WITH A CAR WITH 4.10 GEARS.

Tried the tires cold on the street with no burnout with 15 psi and car hooked hard!

I think great my 60' foot time should be 1.8-1.9
I go to the track same day and do a burnout until car is dragging itself out of the water box (nice and hot) and ran a 2.2 60' time spinning.
Dropped air pressure, tried em cold...nothing worked.
I leave the track find a back road...stall engine up 2400 rpm's and flash the coverter and it doesn't even bark the tires. (hooks hard again)

Does this track just stink or is all other drag strips the same way? :bash:

The track always seems to be a little slicker than the street. I've also heard of the water boxes being a little too wet and a lot of water spraying up into your fenders and then dripping down onto your tires. Who knows though. I run streets.
