THAT SAID...I offered friendly advice along the lines of his question.
THAT SAID...I have more experience than you do in the Class.
THAT SAID...Your Chevelle has an entirely different suspension than the Firebird in question and was not a even a Class car as the OP was asking about.
THAT SAID...He didn't ask about your OLD Chevelle. I'll bet he already knows about it!
THAT SAID...We get it. You don't!
THAT SAID...Go back to the mirror and repeat..."I'm wonderful, I'm special, and by-goly. I want the world to know"

Where is the "Like" button?

correction, he asked for opinions and all that replied gave theirs.

he also said that a year ago when he signed on. The fact is his car is a bracket car and he a bracket racer!

THAT SAID...I offered friendly advice along the lines of his question.

so did everyone that replied

don't matter, his is NOT a class car!

and your super stock amx isn't this firebird that is a bracket car!

THAT SAID...He didn't ask about your OLD Chevelle. I'll bet he already knows about it!

he asked about running radial slicks on a bracket car!

THAT SAID...We get it. You don't!

it's obvious that's it YOU that don't get it

THAT SAID...Go back to the mirror and repeat..."I'm wonderful, I'm special, and by-goly. I want the world to know"

Sure, we all know you have options that you feel everybody needs to hear, time after time...But, he asked about slicks on his Gen 1 Firebird which uses a leaf spring. Much different than a Chevelle.

Nice to know you keep a dosier on everybody here. But I can't see that it's relevant that a year ago he said he wanted to move into Class racing his Firebird and he has not made the move (yet). Is the fact he hasn't made the transition (yet) make his questions irrelevant? It appears to me you are quite sure he will never make the move. But either way, that's his dream and if so, good for him. At least he has set some goals.

I have both Stock & Super Stock numbers. But it does have a leaf spring suspension with Calvert bars like the OP. And again, he is stating he wants to make the car a Class car.
he asked about running radial slicks on a bracket car!
And I made comments to both radials and bias slicks. Did you miss that? As I'm not his sponsor and do not plan on sending him slicks to try, it's the OP's decision to make. That's why he asked for advice or opinions, whichever.
it's obvious that's it YOU that don't get it
Coming from a guy that doesn't have a Class car, posts on Class Racer about Class cars, bemoans those that race class cars and continuously takes every opportunity to brag about a bracket car he know longer even posseses and constantly insists there is something uniquly special and superior of his Gen 4 Firebird in comparison to Class racers rides, no, I guess I don't get it!

Where do you see that? Again, that's from your dossier file because I haven't used that in years and it is not on my signature or even profile. Hasn't been for years. But I have already made sales approaching $3,000,000 on my own this year and it's only April. So I'll bet I'm a top 1% in Arizona. Thanks for asking!

Back to your mirror. I have to get back to work.

why? anybody ever try it?

Radials usually don't recover from tire spin and most stick cars are capable of spinning bias slicks.

So we will see you at all the races now with that much disposable income? There must be a new stacker and a new toter in your future as well?

I have a really nice "Low Boy" open trailer! And an Expedition to tow it with!
I have not and most probably will never travel enough to warrant those money pits. Not that I wouldn't take one...got one for me?

If you can borrow or buy a run of different tires and different wheels. The best bias tire I think is the Goodyear 1909 D-5 for recovery and inital hook. Any of the D-4 compound radial Goodyears are very good.
