    Question: NHRA 9.99 or faster Battery Cutoff switch

    Hey guys, I did a little searching but didn't find a whole lot. NHRA I guess requires a battery cutoff switch at the rear of the truck for faster than 9.99. I was just going to break the ground curcuit, but read it didn't work correctly. Anyone have some pictures or anything that actually...

    M&H 390s vs Mickey Thompson 305 45 18

    Alright guys, I'm taking a poll. I sold my Hoosier QTP 28x14.5x16 and 16x10s. I want something I can drive to the local track and not have to change out my street tires. Both tires are 29ish inches tall which I need becuase 3.42 gears are on back order. The truck should run high 9s or low tens...

    Mickey Thompson drag radials

    Is anyone a Mickey Thompson dealer? I'm torn between theses in a 295 50 16 (28x11.5) or getting 30x14x16 M&Hs. I already have a set of 16x10 aluminum wheels that weigh 21lbs a piece so I really don't want to go up to a larger diameter wheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
