Hi Derek

Right.... Got ya..

Would racing slicks on the rear work well enough for the odd Drag Race event?

Better than road tyres?

Debateable whether they would be much better but worth a try if you have some old ones to try.
Dedicated drag radials are best but don't come cheap but I usually have a spare pair of worn ones you are free to try if I am there.

Shame I couldn’t make Saturday in the end, reasons were out of my control!

Out of interest I achieved a 12.07 with old road tyres from memory.

This improved to an 11.83 with some secondhand drag radials.

I will say that I’m sympathetic with my gear changes and I’m sure Derek could improve on that!

Wow praise indeed from a proven great driver. You know your car and that 11.83 was a very impressive time for any NA TVR.
Last time I tried to drag your car I think I cooked the clutch attempting a burnout, sorry again for that.
