Traction loss at 58 mph!

My Et Street Radials finally died...wore them down to nothing. I did not want to spend big bucks on more MT's right now because I have a set of MT's on some Weld wheels for the track. I took my old Goodyears out of storage and mounted them on the back. I honestly didnt think I would have a traction problem in the top of third but boy was I wrong. I watched the scanmaster read 58 mph and I stomped it and it went sideways real bad. I am very impressed with this new turbo/combo. Going to the track next week. It simply amazes me the amount of power these little engines can make.


Needless to say I will be breaking out the checkbook soon and buying some new drag tires. The new Hossiers maybe....
