My Dad used a set of 16in Formula wheels I gave him on his 67 Chevelle SS when he drag raced it. Full race slicks I forget the height.

It would be great if people would post times in the 1/4 mile sticky.

how did you get it to hook like that, I have a TTA with 275 Toyo TQs and could only pull a 1.9 60' at New England dragway, I know my local track sucks but damn...

Wow. I'd forgotten about this thread. Those ET Streets are pretty old now. They came from an Ontario, Canada speed shop sometime between 8-10 years ago. Lots of rubber left on them but they're too old race now. That picture is a least a few years old too.
