I try and get there early when the gates open, and leave before it get too crowded. But I'll let you know. Didn't you get some bogarts for a good deal? You want to sell them?


Yeah, I got the Bogarts fairly cheap and just wrapped them in new rubber. It's not clear dropping the tire/wheel weight and front rolling resistance will make all that much difference at my NA power levels, but I'm trying them out for the first time this Saturday at the drag rental in Mason Dixon. If they don't do anything for me, they'll go up for sale quick.

26x11.5-15s (ET Streets). I wanted bias plys on front and back to minimize the wobble at the end. I was tempted to put the 27x10.5 on, but I wanted to keep my mph up when I hit the traps.

Bernie, sometimes I think it's the platform. I stopped using ET Streets because the wobble got so bad at the traps. I'd heard similar stories from other S197 drivers. But those with big and littles in bias ply aren't complaining at all. We'll see Saturday. I'm going to do a run or two in my drag radial setup up, try the skinnies, then swap the rears Bogarts on.
