This ain't no cheap chinese lithium ion battery this is the best lithium battery for drag racing according to many racers and of course it's Made in U.S.A.

NO THANKS!
There will never be a lithium battery in my cars as they have proven to be unstable in planes, race cars, phones, computers, hoover boards, etc.
When the big 3 install them as standard equipment in all their passenger cars and trucks, maybe then I'll change my mind.

1320racerJerk off, you’re a clown with a impressive record of 12 failed attempts, 12 years trying and failing to get passed rd2 at your home shythole in S/C and most of those 12 attempts have resulted in a 1st round loss. To one up yourself, you now have started a new stat for yourself, 2 for 2 in failed attempts to get to the 2nd round of TD too. The icing on the cake is your pos broke resulting in a no show rd1

Keep laughing out loud while my son and I keep winning Wally’s and big $ and our marketing partners supply us with, parts, services and capital!

183NOnly thing you’re right about is me and the rest of the pits will keep laughing.
Pretty funny spending all this money on a lithium battery to lighten up a fat pig of a car that has a 26” cage and 1/4” floor pan because it was built for a 400# driver

1840+ with an aluminum block? Pathetic.

It would be easy to go back and list the times you've "changed your mind" after motherfuc'n people for years for doing something you now say is the only way to do it. Or the many times you were just flat out wrong, but I'm not going to bother listing all of them,
because....well...you're just not worth that much of my time. You'll just deny it and everybody else already knows...

He can change his mind if he wants. Problem is he spent years blasting everyone who went to 16 volt system, Lithium batteries or MT tires or what ever. We do not care what he runs the problem is he runs his mouth about what we run.

1320racerFACT…16volt batteries fail without warning
FACT…Lithium batteries over heat resulting in fire and their only benefit is lite weight.
FACT…empties do not retain air
FACT…empties do not get comparable # of passes as the most popular tire in all of drag racing, HOOSIER
FACT…empties chunk on the cars/ETs they were designed for
FACT…empties QA/QC is poor at best.
Now what part of the TRUTH and the FACTS don’t you like that I have stated here for years abd still do?

Curly190% of the Dragsters at the Spring Fling Million had MT tires on them. Fact. Including the winning Dragster. Fact.
As for the 16 volt / 12 volt / Lithium it does not matter to me one bit. They all do the job. The 12 volt system seems to be more dependable. 16 volt does spin over a little faster and go dead a little quicker and Lithium is lighter. Pick your poison does not make a hill of beans to me. Which ever one you like best is the one.
I have not used the Lithium batteries yet but I suspect they may be similar in that they go dead quickly with little warning. With that said if I really needed to lose weight on my car I would seriously consider the Lithium batteries. Should I ever go to Lithium would probably use two and charge them between rounds.

This sport is all about monkey see, monkey do. There are very few innovators in bracket racing. The ones that do are typically labelled cheaters.

The Spring Fling Million had one winner and that winner was on Hoosiers.
Dylan Hough won the race for the Dragster on Tuesday and on Saturday I think he won another race for 2? -$50,000 checks? and he was on MT tires on his dragster like 90% of the dragsters there were.
The big event winner that week was Andy Schmalls in a door car. Did not see what tires he was running but he kicked tail and won the big one.
I did notice 90% of the dragsters there were running MT tires and there has to be a reason for that. Stating the Facts and you can ask them why they run them because I do not care.
If you think MT tires are junk do not tell me about it, tell the 90 of the Dragsters there about it.

Just going to throw this out there, I bet 90% of those 90% do not know how to properly adjust their cars to make them work better if they did make a switch to a tire with better quality control that will hold air and not blister and chunk on fast top dragsters, that's why they wont even try. And MT takes that to the bank and have no reason to fix the problems with their tires.
Like it was posted above, its monkey see monkey do

Big SteveHoosier has also released the c1350 34x14x16 to give the dragsters running the little Bubba another choice.
