I was kinda thinking along the lines of a Shower and a Haircut to get you started.........

Sorry, I couldn't help myself after reading the topic line.

BFG Drag Radials. The best in my ever so humble opinion.

Just let the pressure to almost nothing and do that...lol

Me and my friends are a little bit of some regulars to the strip, were almost always up there with someone helping them with thier car/dragster. We have thing rotisserie in one of our friends trailers and we put our tires on it and it slowely turns them while a tanke is right up under them, the tire is mounted so just about an inch of it is being dipped in this liquid at the bottom. We put this stuff called "Goat ****" in it, couldnt tell ya what it is though, but this stuff makes rubber stick like glue, it softens the rubber to a point where its probably about a 80% gain over just heated tires. Not to mention that we take some Carb cleaner and spray all over the slicks were running and light them up with a torch to heat them really nice. The burn out keeps em warm and we're set. Not sure where my friends dad gets this sh*t but it smells pretty strong, i think thats why they call it "Goat ****" But try to find you some slicks and maybe a gallon of that stuff and spray all over them and let it sit for a couple hours before heading to the strip.
