So, does anyone know if the mpss 315s will fit on the back with stock rims?
I thought I read that people have used 285s but would be nice if we can go larger.
295s max on stock wheels in MPSS
Thanks, so 295s present no clearance problems whatsoever?

Probably would defer to Van or Derek, guys with top speed experience, but a big part of the equation is gearing.
Have you calculated the 1/2 expected MPH and the trap RPM each tire will give you?
Spend some time at Wallaceracing.com calculators, good stuff there.
I personally think the drag radials would be fine at 1/2 mile, but have no experience.
I buried my '04 Cobra speedo on NT555Rs more than once and it was stable ;-)

For those going. Is anyone planning for a group meet? Also who's staying over for both days? Hate to go and miss any get togethers.
I'm staying over Fri and Sat night at embassy.
I'll be staying in leesburg so I down for anything.I am only doing the sat race. I haven't heard of anything else going on.
Drag Radials are fine for the 1/2 mile event. The surface is excellent but we have not gotten confirmation as to whether or not burnouts are allowed. We will find out the weekend of the event.
Ice cells are excellent for these events. Plumb it to by pass the heat exchanger just for racing.
Check and change your spark plugs. For events like this you need a colder spark plug. TR7IX or TR8IX depending on boost pressure. If you're at 19 psi or more go with TR8IX. And take spares!!!
My personal favorite. Helitape. Dramatically reduces drag co-efficient and improves MPH. Split a roll with a fellow competitor. It's $220 per roll and gets more expensive the wider the tape.
Technique, Technique and lastly, TECHNIQUE! I spent a lot of time coaching Derek. He went from 184 to 217 in two short years. Derek don't tell my secrets!!! LOL
Most of all, take care of your car, take care of your body (hydrate) and get sleep the night before. Show up fresh and relaxed. You'll have a great time.
Anybody has questions let me know. I'm leaving for Daytona in a day so if I'm off grid for a while I'll reply when I can. Usually I can when I'm up in the tower overseeing the track. Hard to post replies when you're watching cars on track.

If you live there maybe it's possible you know a good meet spot or cruise spot? I'm not very familiar up there besides seeing the sign that says Ocala exit
LOL
Sounds good Manuel. I'm there also. Side note, I only need a helmet right? I'm just a tuned car no 1000hp beast
