10.5 Tire

Andys dad · 01-08-2012, 03:11 PM

Won't fit our car without the old school modifications to fender lips and jacking up the back end - which would not improve traction

:-) peace

lets change tire rule,hell why not just change all the rules to suit yourself,maybe we dont need any rules at all! All this pissing and moaning about the current ,or should I say traditional eliminator rules is gonna make me puke! Its your choice what you drive, if you need bigger tires or unobtainable parts why is that everyone else's problem? What about the poor soul who cant fit the 10.5 tire? They get minitubs now? Run in SS if you feel the need to have big tires and dont feel safe! Lots of guys going real fast on small tires in the other associations , why cant they do it in NHRA stock? Plenty of places to race these BS combos elsewhere, where they would be welcomed im sure. Why try to shove all this bogus crap down everyone else's throat ? The racers who have raced stock forever and supported the sport long before these new "saviors for class racing" came along!

10 oh and lots of faster cars will hook fine on 9". If you cant make that work, go to SS or bracket racing until you do.

All I did was ask a question to see the reaction.
Pretty much what I thought.

Last year I spoke to the Goodyear drag racing engineer that happened to be at Pomona. I brought up the subject as regards to the high speed in Stock Eliminator with their 9" on the CJ's and DP's.

His response was the tire is designed and tested for speeds over 160 mph and cars up to 4000 lbs. He also stated, just like Mark/A56 shared, that it is up to the racer to have the appropriate suspension setting to run the high speeds.

I thought dot drag radials were legal as long as they weren't larger than 9" or 94 circ?

They are in D2, my friend has a Corvette that he drives to the NHRA national and division races, he uses drag radials.
