Default Re: Evolution of Stock Eliminator tire rules

I remember stock factory tires in the late 50's, then the hot setup was the Atlas Bucron which was part of now Exxon (Standard Oil, ESSO, etc) and it worked but was only 4 inches wide and had a life of about 2 races. It was butyl rubber if I remember. Then the 7 inch tires and M & H was the hot setup, and they had different combos, and we actually got a pair of unmarked and unnumbered and the burnout made noticeably darker marks. That was on a 67 El Camino 396/375 B/S. And there were several recap slicks, I think Casler slicks were caps. And along the 70's came the 9 in tires till today I think. But my memory is a little weak.
