Yes those are 10.5 radials I love them for foot brakeing but they don't seem to work off the t-brake. I haven't had any problems with them at all. This is the second set I have run and plan on useing them again. Are you sure it's the tire and not something else. Three sets of bad ones would make me start to wonder o No: . I think I would borrow a set of tires and wheels from someone and give them a try and if it goes away then check the wheels just to make sure.
yes I have tried my old goodyear radials and my et streets and no wobble. I am not the only one with this problem, a fellow racer with a 9 second camaro had the same thing happen and finally gave up.the thing is the car is so fast with these I would like to figure it out. I have left as high as 4000 on the brake with 3.73 gears and it stuck like glue and even had to shift in the air to get it to come back down.what tire is yours ? c06 or the c07?any help would be greatly appreciated.
Way To Go Bobb!!!! I was wondering why you weren't at Columbus this weekend. Actually I didn't see any Buicks except one G/SA stocker. This must have been a good weekend for Buicks as I made it to the final in Nostalgia Super Stock at the NSCA World Finals. Didn't do as good as you as I lost in the final. I have been fighting a couple of problems and had the car set up wrong for the final run, was a little too slow. I do know you have really work hard on that thing this year. Great you got some reward. Hope to be seeing you soon. Come on down to Memphis and run PRO with us in Oct. Later Jim Netherland B/NSS(C this week) NSCA 67 GS
Cool Bobb! around here Real Street is run heads up with no index. Gotta run 5.70s (in 1/8th) to compete.Best I've ever gone is low 6's. I like the index idea....is that a local thing? My cat (JAGUICK) is sleeping the rest of the year but BQUICK is ready to go. Bruce
We have a heads up class pretty much as fast as you can go- then a 9.00 index and then the real street which is a 10.00 index to keep things more interesting on DOT night.
Mr 69 (Since I don't know your name) I think they are the co7 compound they are the heavy side walls my car weighs 3750 and the heavy side walls favor a big car. I tried to launch it at 3600 with 4.22 gears and it was like in the burn box. You would have thought I lock the clutch on a top fueler. It went no where till I lifted and hit it again. I laughed out loud in the car. I tried one other time with the same results. How much air do you run when you use the brake. I run a lot of pressure off the foot brake and was think about trying it with less air in them and see if it took away some of the hit. Never had a chance this weekend seemed to be kind of busy. but may be in a week when I'm testing the new converter. Jim Good job, Your right thats why we weren't at the nsca race I had planned on going and so was jeff but we decided to run up here and I'm glad I did. never thought Iwould be able to pull it off. I just wanted to ruin everyone elses day or maybe just the first place guy once I did that in the second round there was light at the end of the tunnel. I never got to excited till I saw the win light in the final. I took the stripe but was afraid I went under but there it was in the rear veiw mirror. I might have let out a yell or two. :TU: . don't think I will be running anymore Pro edlebrock races till they let us run a dominator and give us a 10.0 index it's just too hard to slow down that much. Hell I have a hard enough time with 10.0 and thats only a couple tenths slower. 6 or 7 tenths is hard to do. talk them into that and i'll race again.
A huge congratulations to you Bobb! Few really know how much work you put into making this all come around for the year. I was there and saw it first hand, making it that much more of an impressive feat. It was definitely your night, first you take out the number one guy in points, (going into the night) then in the final round you take out the number 2 guy in points to take it all! :TU: How much cooler could it get then that! Well deserved buddy! :beer
