ok ive heard you can use bleach as a traction compound for your tires, just wondering if not where can you order traction compound from?

Bleach will do the complete opposite of giving you traction. Bleach is very slippery, you'd probably have better luck pouring motor oil all over your tires.....

g009s are NOT going to be happy with a lot of drag racing. They're decent, but they're no race tire, that's for sure.

On a side note, they may to better on drags than the 615s due to a softer sidewall.

If you want to drag, BF Goodrich drag radials (or pick your brand really) seem popular around here. If you are going to autocross a lot, the G009s will get you started, but they have such soft sidewalls that you will want something better very quickly.

BFG Drag Radials is what you want. I can cut 1.9 second 60" And you can use them at the track (or wherever you race) then swap them with your other tires saving the tread. That's what I do.

Let me get this straight . Your running fifteens and you think you have ANY room to trash Hondas. Get something under the hood, besides the usual intake and exhaust, and I'll school you with my LS/VTEC.
