thacker.... here is your chance for redemption...
i'm willing to run you from a dig... me on my bald ass street tires, you on your slicks. the only thing i ask is that we run to 120, which is just a tad bit longer than 1320 ft.
you in?

I've tried the "run to a certain mph" BS before and it never works out. The only way to do it for real is have a predetermined finish line.
I will be at Hotlanta wings tonight to hang out at the meet ... 8:30 Hotlanta wings in fayetteville, bring your car and we will discuss it then.
WTF?Originally Posted by ThackerSS
It works everytime
come on, you should have known he was going to make an exception even though you been giving and giving and giving. first you agreed to run him after he asked you what it would take, then you agreed to a dig run but as long as yall are both on the same kind of tires, then you agree to run what you have as is vs what he has as is.Originally Posted by collins
do you really expect him to say yes to this?? nope
I told him I would give him a full 1/4th. To be dead honest my car sways on the big end on my ET streets.... it can be damn near scary and going all the way to 120 is ASKING for something horrible to happen. Call me scared or whatever but 1/4th is as far as I am even thinking about going.Originally Posted by redrumracer
nobody is making you use your ET streets. but one question, what about other people that run ET streets AND go faster than 120?Originally Posted by ThackerSS
no i dont call it being scared, i call it a cop-out.

It's common knowledge that if you run a radial tire on the front and ET streets or ET drags on the back it can get way out of hand.
Collins tonight is fine, but I am not giving you anything. Your car makes 30 more hp, that easily negates my tires.
Heads up, 1/4th mile.
It's just a race dude? So what if you lose?
30hp doesnt make up for slicks where on earth did you come up with that... giving the move to collins is the least you can do... but it looks like you just want to run his street setup to your drag setup. and beat him since you have slicks and cant run high mph in the 1/4... man up... give him the move.Originally Posted by ThackerSS

I had 2754017 Mickey Thompson ET streets an ran in my cobra at more then 140+ had no problems...NOW if you have full slicks 33x12x15 then I can say yes but not low profile DOT drag radials !!I had DOT drag radials on the charger at more then 150+ too an weighs in at 4900 lbs with no problemsOriginally Posted by ThackerSS
personal experience, huh?Originally Posted by ThackerSS
It sounds to me like you're running the wrong tire for your super uber race car setup, huh???Originally Posted by ThackerSS

Collins, this is never going to happen. This guy has the well earned rep of just no-showing every "race" he stirs up. It's a waste of time and effort.
FINE G0DDAMN 1/4 MILE! but you give me the move. im just tired of you running your d1cksucker. i wont be off work till at least 11 tho. so we can either do it late tonight, or sometime early next week. its your call.
I will be out tonight like I said at the meet in fayetteville. If the rain looks like it will hold off I will check this thread from my phone. Feel free to PM me your number later so we can get to it.
dude you're on fuccing SLICKS and im on bald ass street tires. you will jump me like crazy out of the hole. you wanted to run me with both of us on slicks, so the move would make up for that. hell, YOU KNOW im going to have to baby it off the line...
****ing rediculous... 30 ****ing HP doesn't make hardly any ****ing difference at ****ing all. You have ****ing slicks he has ****ing street tires, even if Collins gets the hit hes going to spin like ****ing crazy since hes running street tires and not ****ing drag radials. If you are a decent driver then you should have no problem beating collins if he gets the hit. **** **** ****ity ****!
LOl omg i found a person that had more stupid in them than me lol!!
I check sluts off my list like a maintnence man
I drive a low is3 just so it gives me a reason to drive super slow on these rough ga roads.

i sent him a pm with my number attached. we'll see if he calls before midnight.
I was in fayetteville and we had a few drops on us on the way home. Lightning real bad up near ATL also. I sent collins a PM with my number. We are going to get to it sometime this week or next weekend. If I buy some more street tires this week I can prob do street tires to street tires.
thacker, you shouldnt own a car.
/wrist homie.

the ignorance is amazing.
ET streets are known to sway like crazy at anything over 100 mph if you are running a standard radial tire on the front.
Do a search on any forum for a RWD car and you will see this to be the case.
Both of mine was RWD last time I checkedOriginally Posted by ThackerSS
nope they were really front right wheel driven, secretly. nobody wanted to tell youOriginally Posted by JoshuaASE
i hate all this bench racing though. theres been 3-4 callouts been made with the same two guys.
i'm still willing to run his race. all im asking for is the move. and thats only because of the tire difference.
Drag Radials will still spin on the street Collins, I bet you will take him from a Dig because he is still going to spin like hell...Think it like this...When you Go to a track your still going to spin like hell until that track warms up! Even with slicks....They will grab alittle better but not 100% difference on the street....Remember the track has to warm up, that is why AMS lets you practice an the first few races even with slicks ,you still spin like a Biatch..Because it has to warm up too stick

Not to mention the ET streets bog my car if I don't launch at atleast 4k on the street.
It's like.. you've never raced a car with any power.
Yes if your at 15lbs air but it will turn over the tires in 2nd gear its just you cant hear, but go back an you can see the marks from it...I ran on et many times, I am not a NOOB to Et drag radials be far....if your car isnt turning it over in 2nd an leaving any marks then you must have a v6 thenBut I always had lots of Nitrous on my cars, so that is why I still spun

Josh, i never really thought of all that. with being cars are driven on the highway 24/7. its always the little things i never think ofhahaha
Collins if your running from a dig DROP your air in the rear tires to about 20lbs you wil get better traction...Just don't run on the HWY without butting air back in the tires.
hey, who's side r u on, anyway?![]()
