SO my new venture on hoosier QTP's... LOVE EM!



went out and the first pass i made after driving across town, thru inspection, onto the track was a 11.0 @129 w/ a 1.5 60' (no burnout)

after raising my 2step to 6800 it now build about 6-9 psi on the line...

last pass of the night after having a full night of issues w/ lockout (you can hear it in this video) i would have to granny shift then it would fall out of the powerband...

last pass decided to drop the tire press for 16 psi and hit the waterbox to see if i could pull a 1.4 before i went home... and here is the video that goes with that time slip..

consistant 1.5-1.6 60' w/o any burnout

i am truly please w/ these tires so soft no hop all GO! car squats nicely






now my issues w/ lock out i couldnt slam the gears and it was very frustrating!! so i ordered all solid bushings for the shifter and the base then ill try to do some adjusting on the clutch to see if i can eliminate the issues.

Nice! I may have to try the water box next time and lower my pressure. Liking my Rota/QTP combo.

Removed the Hoosier letters. More stealthy.

I ran this setup on my DSM with the Rota grids and loved them to death. They are for sale now but I'm honestly second guessing it because as everyone else has said, there isn't anything better that will allow you to run in the street class.

I want full slicks but at that point I might as wells tart pulling out glass as well...
