Drag67Camaro Aug 8th, 03, 02:41 PM Hey guys, sorry to rush any of you but i am looking to buy some slicks off ebay and need to know if they are good for a high 12sec camaro? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33745&item=2426924451 thanks it ends very soon Adam Kyvox Aug 8th, 03, 03:11 PM Those are roundy-rounder tires. They'll work, but not as good as regular drag slicks. CamaroNOTcamero Aug 8th, 03, 03:47 PM they won't work, they dont have a wrinkle side wall. And they're used. dont buy used slicks your wasting your money. oger Aug 8th, 03, 06:12 PM We sold all of our slicks after they were one year old no matter what they looked like. The compound goes bad from age. The most common buyers were circle track people. Drag67Camaro Aug 9th, 03, 04:01 AM would these do just for a couple runs while the weather is still good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2427191281 thanks CamaroNOTcamero Aug 9th, 03, 05:15 AM "excellent for oval track racing" they are OVAL track tires, dont WASTE your time or your money with them. They dont have a wrinkle sidewall and will NOT hook. jackr Aug 9th, 03, 05:47 AM Don't buy those unless you are going round racing !! Had this conversation last night with someone who tried similar on his 68. Street tires 13.3, these tires 14.5. You can't get them hot enough to make them work at the drags. LYK2ROC Aug 9th, 03, 09:19 AM I used a set of very used McCreary oval track tires in the 1/8 mile before. I had to do quite a long burnout, but they worked better than street tires, even though I never tried street tires. This was on a stock, suspension, 69 Camaro with a stock, 10 to 1 355, 292 Magnum cam, 4 spd, and a 3.31 gear, with open headers, dual plane, high rise intake and a 750 Carter AFB. They were 26 in tall by 8.5 in wide. I would come off the line at 4000-4500 rpm, and sometimes they jump a little bit, but for the most part, they stuck. The car ran 8.40's in the 1/8 mile. The bad thing about them were, they require tubes, and I didn't use them. I just aired them up, and got to the line quickly. I loaned them to my buddy that had a 84Z28 with a wicked aluminum headed, roller cam, small block 355, and he ran 7.30's with them. So from my experience, FWIW, they worked decent. smile.gif graemlins/clonk.gif | ||
