Group formed to rescind 1975 9" tire rule!

Ron Ortiz · 03-31-2023, 09:20 AM

I want to add my name to the list, I am a racer who isn't racing, I am a NHRA member, with a car, but not racing until ready. I don't remember if I have dementia or whatever it is. 9" tires are more than enough, I run them with 30 lbs of pressure.
If the fast guys don't know how to get their 500 HP cars hooked, then go to Modified Eliminator. Where is the nurse? If I can't see too good, should I remove my blinder.
Traction control is moving your foot.
Thank you Billy for forming this club, now where are the donuts.

Ron, it was your turn to bring them!

Billy ,will we also be able to bring our floor jacks and Stanley cheese grater files to the lanes to trim the tires to regulation size if this change is successful ??

Easy slow pokes.
7 inch tire rule.
How about all stockers must have 8 working spark plugs
Also burnout with front tires illegal
It’s dangerous 😝

The Atlas Bucron 8.20's is a better choice. On a 4" rim like the old days.

Great Idea.

It seems that being able to pass a history exam regarding Stock, and its various transformations, will have to be a prerequisite to joining the group! Actually, it could be interesting to record what has transpired over the years. Some at NHRA "Club Headquarters" may find it interesting.?

I have some memory back to '72, I'd be glad to contribute what I can remember to the cause.

I will take two sets of Bucron's if anyone knows where they might be.

Adger Smith · 07-10-2023, 07:38 PM

Great Idea Billy....
That might stop the rush to make Stock into Super Stock...& equalize
the old combos with the new factory cars.
That is what we had when I started and somewhere along the way the high HP guys wanted 9".
Would love to see a COPO on 7" tires...

Just sold my Bucron 8.20's. I still have a set of 7.60's. They're still as l as soft as new. But I'd really like to get some of those old 7" Firestone blems. They were good enough to break lots of stuff back then, or was that a previous life.
