i would love to see the tire quality of all you roll racers. i bet atleast 25% have bald tires or tires that would fail inspection and 80% have tires not rated for those speeds. ---

I promise you right now, your car isn’t CLOSE to being able to go 160 in a standing mile and if it could, its not ready safety wise to run the standing mile. I’ve been to those events, the amount of safety equipment require to run even 160mph would astound you. You should check into that stuff before you start quoting it ---

I get what you are saying. Its a street car but not a daily driver… I dont see a problem with that. I dont recommend roll racing for everyone. Lower hp cars are fine from a dig…they can atleast hook up at 35mph in first eventually. My 383 ran 11’s on motor and I could feel confident in racing from a dig on the street. I walked first out slowly before gettin on it but by 2nd it was hooked up… even top of first was hooking up on the big 295 tires. I drive a 99 trans am auto 2.73 gear LS1 car with some bolt ons as my daily driver. I love it but I still find it hard to go from a dig with 3200 stall and street tires. It hooks rather well for what it is but going WOT at 35mph roll is its sweet spot. I’m much rather feel that rush than walk it out off the dig. At the track with good tires, its all about the launch. Just 2 different scenarios/applications. But dont get me wrong I love driving my cars too. I’d much rather cruise around than worry about racing someone. Just too much to lose if something went wrong or you get caught racing. I take the back roads and carve some corners and burn the straight aways…my own private events that I enjoy. I dont need to race to have fun. I have a good time just talkin to people at car shows sometimes. > i would love to see the tire quality of all you roll racers. i bet atleast 25% have bald tires or tires that would fail inspection and 80% have tires not rated for those speeds. Basically new Bridgestone Potenzas 295/30/19’s rear, 255/40/18’s front… Y-rated to 186+mph, the rear tires are stock on a Porsche 911/996. Just 2000 miles on them in the past 2 years. I’ll never run bald tires on my cars. But then again I never been past 130 on the street and thats when my car was bone stock with catback exhaust… I’ve been 115 MANY times tho on my testing roads while tuning. ---

Check out The Maxton Mile, its not a far drive and worth the trip to check it out. Are you on any LSR forums? If not, check into it, its a really tight knit group of guys. Check out [Landracing.com](http://Landracing.com) [www.ecta-lsr.com](http://www.ecta-lsr.com), either one will give you tons of info if you wanted to even go out and check one out. ---
