sorry lads but this is how it stands.

cpl civic is the one to beat up to press as there best is a 10.18

Andy nichols best is a 10.23

my best is 10.50

james hudson is a 10.61.

the white golf is 4wd so doesnt matter about that.

if they prep the start and do a good job, i find york a faster track as it isnt up hill and isnt sticky all the way up so doesnt slow the top speed down,, but they need to do a good job on the start

Surely if the tires could be made legal here they would? Could sell loads possibly.

Cost of doing so would be tens of thousands of pounds I should imagine, and the market for them is very small, especially given that most "street" drag series will already allow them in, so the only place you would be able to use them after approval that you can use them now really would be on the road, and they would be horrible as road tyres anyway.
