I wish I had drag radials. How is the grip on those? I never launched on DRs before.

I can test them out for you too, if you'd like.

Any reasons why you chose those particular DRs, instead of certain other DRs? Why not go full out with slicks/ET streets?

Are they brand new? If so, don't forget to break them in properly or they'll lose their grippiness and longevity. I can do it for ya, if you're not comfortable doing so.

I know these may a dumb question.
Is it 15 Per Run or 15 to run all day?
The Z's performances is very close to the 13.99 (8.59) depending on driver. Do they sell or rent helmets there?

Probably almost, but not quite enough power for Mackie to break out of the 14's, hahahaha.

Yeah, i'm sure we can...but would you like to suggest something. I think we are probably just taking 75 to 45 if you wanna hook up with us along the way.

Last time I went a couple of us meet at a Holiday Inn just south of 20, but I think that was on 35. If it just going to be me I either drive up to you guys or just meet you all there.

Just re-read the meeting location, this is in the Richardson area right? For some reason I was thinking it was further north.

We aren't going to go down 35...i think. We just take 45 down thru ennis, you could meet us off of 45 just south of 20.
