Got introduced to them at a dirt track and noticed how hard they were hitting the throttle and not spinning on dirt. Got me thinking if you can hook up that good on dirt how good would they be on concrete. I found out. Back when I bought my last set about 10 years ago they were only $100.00 a piece with tax. Wonder what they go for now?

I knew of them during my street racing days in the late 80s and early 90s. Alot of fast cars on the street were using MCCrearys and I remembered them. I picked mine up last year for about $125. Still a very good deal for what they do.
I never quite got my car dialed in and got to run the 1/4, but I think I would have gone low 11s as my car was running the 1/8 in 7.71 at 92mph. That is a full 3/10s faster in the 1/8 than what my fastest 1/8 mile time was when I ran an 11.65 in the 1/4.
