I've been poking around the intarweb trying to find a confirmed "quickest" FWD pass on radials. The only thing I can come up with is Jim Hucks' 11.024 pass. Is that the quickest?

 

yes, done on bfg drag radials

 

225/50s, right?

 

i think that pass was on 235 BFGs but i could be wrong cant remember if was running hte 235 or 225,
that car is sick either way

yeah 225/50/15s

jim complains he can't fit the 235s on his crx - we tell him otherwise - that is what a hacksaw is for

 

Hacksaw = 235s fit

he needs them for sure, he has lots of torque

No need for a hacksaw to fit the 235's, just have to make the car a 4x4 , thats what we had to do to make them fit on my car.

 

i always thought this would be a fun challange. just got my hands on another car...hmmm

 

Here is a pic of the car, don't any pics up closer then this one.

 

thats hot!!

 

Thanks, those tires are 235/60/15.

He won't do that cause' it's a show car as well. If he did though he'd be in the 10's for sure. :hint: :hint: Jim

yes jim needs to hurry up and get it over put the big tires and run some 10s

Just a thought here,

You could always have TWO sets of fenders.

 

This guy went 10.2 or 10.3 on radials.

ehhh, i wouldn't really consider that a radial - although DOT approved, it is a slick with grooves cut pretty much, it has been accepted amongst us here that that doesn't necessarily count - jim hucks holds the title at 11.02 on a BFG drag radial

although cunha's passes are very impressive and in fact he is someone that will drive them on the street

This us the other reason why jim can't or won't cut his fenders. This is in the rule book for are class, other whys I would have done the same thing for me.

From the rule book under the Power Street: No cutting of fenders to fit larger tires.

 

I thought Kunha went like a low low 10 second pass on drag radials. I have the video at home.

 

Cunha's best pass on the DOT MandH's was a 10.3 on radials its a 11.6 a long time ago on much less power. And yes anytime the car ever sees the street its on those same tires. They are much safer than a BFG.

 

Just out of curiosity, weight and trim plays alot into the et/mph s considering jim huck is in full street trim went 1100s, i went 1157 so far on untuned boost, 2400lbs with a ok 60s 1.98, anyway, point is if i lost 3-400 lbs i would run 10s im sure,

either way on drag radials in ANY trim that s quick as hell, MandH are considered slicks by everyone, but hey to each there own

Im trying to run 10s in PW/S trim that my goal, wish me luck

DOT-approved Bias-Plys and Drag radials are two different tires.

I can't see his tires in the pics posted, so I may be talking out of my ***, but the question I have is about Radials. I know that there are several FWDs in the 10s on Bias-Plys.

 

looks like brain fisher went 11.02 aswell

i thought someone has hit 10's on bfg's but i guess not
