If the tires were a problem I would have installed my M&H dot tires, sorry I rubbed someone the wrong way, I had them with me, I have gone faster with them. I was breaking in those tires (slicks)and the run that I ran the Lighting they were still not fuzzed, It was after everone left that I finally broke them in. The run I ran the lightning I only turned a 1.89 60 ft time, later I was turning 1.70's. I must explain why I have both types of tires. At my track, Ennis Tx. on test and tune night if you run dot tires you must run the street tire lane for test and tune, not the clean lane for slicks. This was done because on test and tune nights we would always get some idiot with a street tire hottie shake 50k miles of dirt, grime, gravel all over the starting line, saying nothing of the oil and water leaks, you all have seen it, this would make conditions for anyone with serious HP impossible, hence I have both available and since dot tires were not a requirement I wanted to try them out, and brake them in. Next year I will keep them off my trucks if anyone thinks it is a advantage.
