Actually, nothing wrong with racing on snows They are softer, and should actually yield a quicker 60' than most summer tires...If you wheel hopped on snows, you definitely would have with harder, summer tires.

werd off the top of my head - vegas, jewer, and wartalon cut mean 60's on snows.

I actually hop more on summer tires then snows, because the snows break loose easier.

exactly. softer side wall and compound. plus the snows have cut blocks of tread that open up when compressed

ya, I learned from Danimal (fimotorsports). he used to cut 1.5's with all season tires pretty consistantly

PS. its alot harder to hook on snows when you reach about 500+hp. I have been doing 1.72-1.79 that feel fast, but nothing like a solid 1.5
I can always tell its a 1.6 or better if the sunroof shade flys back open

I'll be up Friday with the RWD.

If any of you guys run on Fridays, make sure you get in on the Import Challenge! We need to support this event to make sure it survives, plus it's heads up pro-tree racing which is just plain awesome, not to mention good practice for the Import Events.

NED released this today...
Track Responds to NOPI Announcement
07/16/2008 by NED News
NOPI may be off the schedule, but New England Dragway will put together an import/sport compact event on Saturday, August 2 despite the disappointing news. “Several sponsors contacted us in the wake of NOPI’s announcement and offered to help make this event a success,” stated Track/General Manager Joe Lombardo, adding, “We know there is tremendous interest in the import program. Based on the tremendous number of phone calls we’ve received over the past 12 hours, along with a flood of e-mail messages, it’s important we put something together for all those racers and fans who planned on coming to the track.”
While details are still being ironed out there are a number of ideas being considered. There will be eliminator style race classes for cars and motorcycles along with run only lanes. “Our intent is to make this different from our regular import wars events so we’ll probably stay away from the same format we use during our import wars events,” said Lombardo. Track officials are considering a flag start, no scoreboard, first to the finish line race. That will be accompanied by other categories with a decision on specific classes to come later this week.

“People from Team ECR have agreed to host a car show, which is good news since their program is well received among the New England Dragway community,” Lombardo said. Track officials are also planning on a burn out contest and ugliest car contest.

Lombardo said the key over the next few days is to try and give everyone something they’ll enjoy. Specific details about the weekend will come later this week. "I think people understand the situation we're in and realize it will take us a few days to come up with a good program for everyone to enjoy," he concluded.
