I am definitely starting out in T/S.

This car was never meant to be a big tire car. I built it around the 315 Pro radial, so I only stretched the wheel wells for the 30" tire. IMO this body style car looks horrible as a big tire car.

I have numerous things to try and make the car hook consistently. Instant center, front end travel, ballast, launch timing retard, and if I really wanted to dog it out of the hole the Coan 400xlt th400 has a second gear leave valve body.

Time will tell if I can make it work or not.
