Hey Mike,
NNiiiiiccccceeee!! You should knock a few 10ths off your time with those bad boys...
The best thing about John is that he is a car nut too, so he is always willing to try something new and travel the road less travelled..
Enjoy in good health!

Yeah baby......this is gonna be sweet. The only thing I wish you could grab would be the famous "crinkle pic" on launch. They have to crinkle a little a launch don't they....
Have to have someone on the track though super close to see.
That is classic Mike.
You still shooting for the final goal of high 10's??

let me know the next time you go to the drags and I'll be there. Since we are both in VA this shouldn't be hard to arrange. Plan on MIR at www.mirdrag.com since this is a "fast" track. Always good e.t.'s there and track prep is great.

Are these tires the Mickey Thompson drag radials or the e.t. street bias type D.O.T. tires? The grooves visible on the side of the tire lead me to believe that they are the new drag radials by M/T. MIR is only open on Fri, Sat, or Sun unless you do a private track rental. There is one special Wed race in July. Let me know if you want to do a track rental once the weather gets cooler and we can get a bunch of E55's there. Only prob with a track rental at MIR is only one car on the track at a time using one lane. If cars are on the track using both lanes they call it an "event" and the rates are much higher.
