Don't we all think these new classes are getting a little fast for 9 inch?
Lower classes should have option of using bigger tire?

i would assume you have never been in a car with small tires running faster then in the tens? i have had several "small tire street cars" that ran well into the nine second zone with 295 65 15 tires no problems, i have a friend that has a 390 ci nitrous small block mustang runs a 275 radial street tire and goes low 8's straight as an arrow,i have had more problems staying hooked with 15X33 tires on my modified car down the stretch than anything else. so i do not think there is a problem with stock eliminator and the tire size we are running right now, it actually is the one thing that evens out the class when high hp comes into play,and as for guys being worried about cars getting loose and crashing, when was the last time anyone saw a stocker do that? and if one does ? well thats just racing !!!!
