It's pretty easy to beat Roger Holder you just have to be more committed then him, The Hard part is whether some one could humanly be more committed then him. That Guy spends the MONEY and works on that car like a CRACK HEAD looks for CRANK. If I told you some of the tricks you would never believe it, now that they run the slick in that class, it is a totally different combination. I liked the Drag Radial, it is an unbelievable tire.

What class do you run in and which car? I wish I had more time to do the PSCA stuff, I loved the tuning, but the racers wives drama killed it for my wife ever wanting to go again. Tuning that car for some of those low 7.50 runs or that 7.45 when Roger pedaled it was unbelievable, Yeah He pedaled it, I saw it on the racepak. CRAZY

You guys do amazing work!

I remember him just getting used to the drag radial as the SCN in Vegas. We pitted real close to him (Dark Green/white stripes 69 Cam with F3 Procharger). He and Matt Schmidt started getting used to it and were busting out some impressive 7.70's--Rich Hoyle was struggling at that time. Fast forward, I just finished up my MBA, so I am now back to "trying" to finish up the race car once again. New chassis meant redo the plumbing, wiring, etc. Most of it is done, just finishing up light fab work. Lil Bri is close to me here in OC so he gets the big fab stuff. Hoping to be back out testing in Nov/Dec in Extreme Drag Radial--does the class still exist? LOL--I should check.

It still exists but you can run a slick that is shorter then the outlaw 10.5W. Most guys have deserted the radial. Man that radial would sure take some power. If the tires spin give it more power until it just barely stands on the bumper. The whole secret to the drag radial right there. If you give it more power you better strap just the right amount of weight on the front end, to much and it spins not enough and you ride the bumper. We had a few half track wheelies last year, one of them was awesome I will see if I can find it.

Man last year was sure fun. Too busy this year to go.

Watch Rich ride a wheelie and Roger drive under his.
