Unhappy Got a few runs in tonight.TRACTION SUCKED!

I honestly don't know why I still keep going to Greenville on these BFs. They aren't doing the job. My best 60ft was a freakin 2.6ft. I won every run but one, but still my best run of the night was a 13.2@105. It was like a truckfest at the track tonight. The only loss I had was to a newer Duramax diesal, box,built tranny,intake,traction bars. He went a best of 13.5@90 to my 13.7@102 on that run. I lined up again against him and ran the 13.2 to his 13.53. I did see a cummins running tuner,stacks out of the bed, and spray running a 12.9, Thank God I didn't get to line up beside him tonight, because he would have made me look bad! My trap speeds and my stupid high 60ft just shows me I need to yank these BFs off as soon as possible and go with those new Mickeys. The BFs hook better on the street than they do at Greenvilles track. I beat up on an older lightning,a Ford singlecab, a 2004 scsb chevrolet, a brand new Honda sport fourwheeler, and of course the Duramax on the second run. I will have the Mickeys by the time I go to Hubcity or Greenville again. Sucky night, but I still came out on top most of the time.

yea he has the stock g80 but that is coming out and the eaton is going in.

Jeremy, have you played with your tire pressure at all. or are you just leaving it alone when you race. sometimes you have to play and play with it to get it to hook right.

Wassup John. Yeah, the last race I dropped the pressure down alot and ran the 13.2, still with a good bit of tire spin. When I got home earlier, I drove up to Cleveland to race a bud of mine. The tires hooked great both races on the street. They really do a great job on the street, but Greenville's track SUCKS!

I love that trap speed. And theres nothing like a tire smoking 2.6 60'. LOL
I feel your pain. My best ever was a sorry 13.7. I'd kill for some traction and a 12.67 you had.

Yeah, every time I go to that sucky track, I put on a nice smoke show. One run was so bad, I came out spinning, went through second, so I got out of it. Hesitated, got back in it and it started up again. Final numbers on that run were a 15.3@103mph. The guy I ran against thought he had won until I blew by his *** right at the end of the track. His trap on that one was like 88mph to my 103. A win is a win I guess. I'm just glad these tires hook great on the street, or I would have already sold them.
