Some info on the Hoosier DR's
I just received Christmas early. Jim sent my 17" CE28N's back, so my own set of the Hoosier DR's will be mounted soon. My new Wilson billet Intake and other 'Accessories' also came in and it will be installed on the new motor. Lots of stuff to fill my stocking, so things are looking up.
Cool thanks Jim!!! I'll be ready when ever you need payment. As soon as I get my transmission back from shep hopefully I'll have some good data to contribute to this already informative thread. Keep up the good work guys glad to see the tires helped the OP.
I'm running these tires also. They are great all around. But I really couldn't get the full effect of them like everyone else does because the track I go to you have to drive through the water pit. And even spinning the tires a little bit still didn't help. But not just looking for better 60ft. times, I did end up with a better E.T.. But I only got 4 runs on these because they kicked me out for not having a roll bar haha. Probably gonna try a different track in 2 weeks or so.

What times have you achieved until now with those tires?
That's great! Do you have a breakdown of the timeslip?
I am considering these tires for next season but t bothers me a little bit that I would have to put them on the car at the track, since driving on those tires in Queens and on the turnpike it's like asking for trouble!
We ll see. I haven't made up my mind yet bt probably I will go with the 16" Hoosiers since people have been pulling even 1.30s 60fts!

I don't know where the slips at but I do remember that I was hitting 98 mph in the 1/8 mile and the 60ft was like a 1.7 I think. They were spinning kinda bad though because even spinning them out of the water pit a little, they were kinda still wet. Going to englishtown next season since you can drive around the water pit
Quick tip; After you roll through the water box, just roll the car back and forth a few times between the box and staging beams on dry pavement to dry off the tires a little. Or do a quick burnout.
