Fastest 60ft on 9" tire

If..... the old cars had 4 link/torsion bar/coil over and total adjustability we too could have much faster 60 foot times on a 9 inch tire.

What would be the brand and part# of the tire of choice here?

1.21 seems like it would be an awesome 60 for that firebird. You have a trans brake in it, right Cooter? SS/HA weight? How certain are you that you didn't catch the 60 ft beams with your nose?

With a F body lots of times it will trip the 60' with the nose out of the wheel stand. I have had to use the 330' to get the most accurate times.

Was it the GTO or Firebird?
Either way, heck of a 60'...

They can trip the stripe on top too!!! Got beat this way a few times.

Who do you think took the stripe, and who do you think got the win?
