Default 1/8th mile drag

Thnx, we have a 4 over swingarm too, and some short shocks up front and a lowering block in the back. All i have is some 20 inch duros that are hard as a rock. If i dump the clutch they will spin the whole 1/8 mile. I have to do a 10-15 sec. burnout then slip the clutch so they wont break loose. I also borrowed some hoosier 18.5s and they were just to small. I ran 17/39 gearing last fri. and topped 6th out right after the 1/8 mile, even though i geared that high for the quarter. I'm not sure if a wheelie bar would help since the front ends not coming up, but maybe with a wheelie bar i won't have to slip the clutch as much. When i have an extra $200 dollars laying around i might invest in some 20 inch american racers, or if i get outran in a couple of weekends by some guy who kinda called me out. We'll see.
