Great turnout on Saturday, best in several years I'd say. Had a great time! 6 cars showed up to run the KOS small tire shootut. Myself, Lenny Melton w/ his new Hellcat powered Challenger, Scott Cheek w/ his blue Dart, Leon Hudson and his well known cuda, Sheila Bowman in the ex Roger Laudy KOS Duster now sporting blown hemi power, and a (forgive me, didn't get his name) young guy w/ a quick nitrous big block C body.
The track was decent early on, but got worse as the day went. I was fighting traction issues...first time using the transbrake on my cuda. Switched to slicks, but still had problems.
Rd. 1 was me vs. Lenny...I won.
Scott got the bye due to Sheila breaking something in time trials.
Leon ran on motor and beat the big C body.

Rd. 2 was Leon w/ the bye.
I tried to run w/ Scott's Dart, but got gapped, lol.

Final was Leon vs. Scott. Leon won on a holeshot.

Here's a pic in the lanes prior to time run 1.

Yes. Works good, went on the bumper w/ the 275 pros a couple years ago. The little 275-60 looks like crap on my car though. Too small, so I went back to the 295-65. I bought another pair of rims to keep the 29.5x10.5 stiff sidewall slicks on for occasions just like this...when the track isn't very radial friendly. At least for my car...it still needs a lot of suspension tuning and/or Cope's 2nd gear transbrake VB.
