No shaking here, only tire that feels like I'm on a rail.....must be all you....

I run a no shake no name secret tire, .954 60ft

Steve , great video ….. love the QICK TRIP CUP, should send it to them ….the video would make a great TV ad for them.....

Anyone notice at Memphis Great American Bracket race this past weekend that every day other than the team races was bracket dragster on M/T Bubba's in winners circle...fake news?

Definitely a pattern.

Also did see a pro charged dragster dialing 3.90s...looked like fun! Driving to the lanes and pulled back.

Good turn out and great race!

Went from the 3195 to the new 3197 this weekend, never missed a beat, as smooth as ever

3197 doing work, need Facebook to view

Good video Steve! Cant complain about those results!

Any news on the Goodyear's from anyone?

Torqin are you coming to 42 next weekend?

G1, We were going and just gave up my spots last week. My crew is tired and wore out...been all over so far. We are skipping this one and going to the one in September and Norwalk as well.

See you then?

Yep and pay attention to the Hoosiers on my car turning win lights on.

Will do!

We have tried all 3 major brands on my wife's super comp/bracket car. It's not a real fast car. 178-180 in super comp, 4.75-4.85 in Vegas. My results on all 3 tires are as follows:

Hoosier-Shakes violently during burnout. Randomly shook on track

M/T-Smooth in burnout. Never shook on track. Hated dealing with flat tires in the trailer.

Goodyear-Smooth in burnout. Never shakes on track. Never loses air.

The M/T and Goodyear both seemed to perform about the same. Both very consistent 60' in all track conditions and we no longer have to tighten bolts and replace missing Dzus fasteners between runs.
We have stuck with the Goodyears for over 5 years now on that car with great results. Personally, I am shocked you don't see them on more dragsters. We show they were similar in performance with out dealing with the loss of air. To me, that was enough to make the permanent switch.

At the PDRA race last weekend I looked at all the cars left in 2nd round of Elite TD, all were on M/T's............JS

I'm on 3196's, had my best 60' ever .927, and it was on a hot track.

Was there even a car there running anything else?

Stood by the really pretty TD car that won the Jeg's all star race in Joliet this weekend. My son was particularly taken with that car.
It was on M/T's

I wonder what is behind the shaking, and why some combos are so prone to it while others are not. Heck there is even a guy above who has had good luck with the Goodyears, which seldom come up in these conversations. I think burnout and starting line track prep came up as one possibility for the burnout shake issue.

That would be Darian Boesch. He is a great kid from a great family, you won't find a nicer group. They have 5 cars all with blowers including a beautiful Haas built TS Camaro that Darian was also going rounds in this weekend
