Congrats on the PB and fantastic run.
FWIW, I know you're pain. It seems this is the year of cruelty for those seeking 10's. I ran a 11.02 myself a couple weeks ago. I've got a set of skinnies now in the garage to convert this to a 10.8 this spring.

I picked up 2 tenths and 2 mph with just adding the skinnies, gotta be one of the best things I've done so far!!

Not exactly, I used to run the stock 18's with 215/45R18's for the strip. The skinnies are noticeably lighter probably about 15lbs each? The weight is only part of why the setup is quicker though. Difference in width has to be like 4" too so way less resistance to roll

MB spare wheels and M&H 185/50R18 Drag Radials for tires. Not sure if the track is open any more this season. It's week to week once Nov hits here. they say they are open each weekend until the show flies, well we got an inch of snow on Monday so I'm not sure if they will be open this weekend. If they are, I may try one more shot this season.
