To All,
Thanks, keep 'em coming. I will be running timed laps with about 10 second intervals between cars. We're not leaving at the same time, so I should not be in a pack - like a true race would be. I will be driving with other newbies, they are grouping us by experience - or in my case, the lackthereof.
Jerry, buy the time I remove the drag radials, buy new ones, mount those - I will have spent as much as just buying a set after I burn these out. What I need a set of cheap rims for my spinners, so I can keep both type of tires ready at all times. The rims cost $1500 bucks.
I found a good website, let me know what you think of the accuracy of the info:
