DRAG RACE QUESTION???
I have never Drag Raced before. I am thinking about taking my Viper Days car to the local track this Friday. Should I run it with hoosiers slicks or do you get more hookup with stock tires? |

Re: DRAG RACE QUESTION???
Use the Hoosiers...BUT DO NOT go in the water box. Drive around it and make sure NOT to get the tires wet. They will hook up much better if you do a dry burn out NOT a wet one.

Re: DRAG RACE QUESTION???
if your using any kind of race tire(sticky), make sure you upgrade your half shafts, unless you want to come home on a flatbed.
