Tubes or Tubeless?

We've always used tubes.Not necessarily from a safety standpoint,but the sidewalls last longer using tubes.

I ran tubes in my S/ST car. It made my car more stable that is for sure

Always ran Tubeless and never had a problem however I go through a set of tires about every 100 runs sidewalls go away! On a side note your friend with the top dragster was that like a old comp elimanator car with only 13" wide tires?

Not sure if it was originally a comp car, but it was a fairly lightweight, small-block powered mid-7 second car. She had mentioned that it ran a bit slower but obviously hooked better with a bigger set of tires. This was at a bracket finals, and the track prep was pretty decent.
