2017 318 RACE !! .... please join the fun

Thank you for the personal experience. For the purpose of this race this info clears my conscience for using slicks. They would not have an advantage over the street ability. That was my main concern. Obviously the car is proving its street credibility and its ability to cruise the freeway or whatever. And there's no sense buying $400 tires to make qualifies for this event. When I have perfectly fine slicks mounted on rims that can do the same thing or maybe not as good.

You will go quicker with a Drag Radial than with a slick if you hook. I did a back to back test at the track with M/T 29.5/10.5w and a M/T 315/60 Drag Radial and ran over a tenth faster with the drag radial in the 1/8. It dead hooked with both tires. I do not run slicks any more.
