Thinking of trying out the Phoenix Exotic Day....NEED IDEAS GUYS!

Here's my problem. I want to bring my drag radials, but also bring the famous DJE55 Toyo RA1's to try out.

Dragging with these in my truck plus jack etc is gonna add bout 100lbs or more to total weight and that means slower times correct??

Any ideas what I can do?

Leaving a pair of AMG rims in pits (perhaps covered or something) is basically saying, "Please steal these!" Right??

Locks and long chains/wire-rope - lock the wheels together and to something unmovable...

^^^^^This is what I do; 2 cut-resistant cables and 3 locks keyed alike gives you the most flexibility.

I would get a rubber- or vinyl-coated cable or chain. Less damage to the wheels as well as less noisy.

A 3-pack of rubber-coated locks allows you to lock one end of the cable to a fixed object, the other end to a second cable, and the last bit around your wheels.
