I just went ahead and ordered a Hawk Advance... it was less than 40 bucks and fit the bill for me. They make them in Matte black for the same price, wish I would have seen that before I ordered the silver, but it ended up being a good spot to put my an SS decal, lol. 13.99 is the number where you are required to wear one, so i didn't want to risk showing up and not being able to race if I had enough to do the number.

I'm sure the cold(er) temps didn't help with traction. Madison, that's right across the river, right? If that's the same one, I raced there years ago in my 1972 Cutlass.

Nice helmet, but you look a lil' young to be driving! How many phone books do you sit on to reach the pedals? (j/k)

Cute pictures.

Yep, it's right across the river. It's a 5 minute drive from where I live

I think it's a pretty good track.....they do NHRA racing there.

I have some 305 45 22 toyos and i can spin them all the way through 2nd gear after doing a lil burnout to clean them up. My regular tires are 265 70 17 bfg at's and they get much better traction, but still spin pretty good. I am not a fan of the toyos, they look aggressive but the traction sucks. I had some nitto's on those wheels before and they hooked way better. ditch the toyos and you will improve big time.

14.0 is not a bad time at all for the mods...but like mentioned traction is going to get you better e/t's...
