Hell ya! So close guys! Looks like your having some serious traction issues. 163mph trap is good enough for 8.70's once you get the traction issues sorted out.

Did you guys happen to win your class at this event?

**EDIT** NVM I read the description in the video, you guys did win your class, nicely done!!

badass Evo for sure. Seems like that little 24.5 tire can't get traction.

Wow that was done on a 24" slick. No wonder you where spinning like crazy in 1st gear. Wouldn't the 26" give you better traction and a higher top end speed? Isn't it the smaller the tire the faster your acceleration but hurts the top end speed and the bigger the tire gives you better traction and higher top end? Good job at wining your class.
