They see up to 300kmh.Maybe because they arnt wearing womens clothes Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87730-circuit-slicks-any-good-for-drag-racing/page/2/#findComment-1459808 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 9m 30d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 12/03/14 09:10 PM Share Posted 12/03/14 09:10 PM A wise decision..Though if you go back to the drags again you should consider some semi slicks.. Especially once you've had practice at the drag strip..
