If your numbers are legit and assuming equal drivers you should have the advantage. My thoughts exactly. You have him in the power to weight so unless you miss a gear, you’re golden. ---

> [@02NismoSpecV](#): > > cuz drag racing takes alot of time to get launching rpms perfect, shifting points etc. and i would rather not roast a set of azenis trying to do that. It won’t hurt your Azenis at all. They aren’t too great of a drag tire, but air them down to 22-25psi, do one very quick spin (not in the water) to scuff off any dirt and crap and then run it. I bet a whole day of drag racing will wear them less than 1 or 2 auto-x runs. ---

^i like it. I still say go to the strip or see what your car TYPICALLY runs with your set up and go from there… if its in the 12’s i think you’re going to kill him. Have you run cobraman yet? what happened when you race a cobra? ---
