thin ring grooves

[John Duzac]

Just a thought, thin ring groves over stock groves. Engine builders would love to have the thin ring groves. Not having to deal with the stupid spacers would help reduce the man hours on building an engine. Not to mention the cost savings to the racers. How many of us had the spacers stick and not allow the rings to seal? Then you had to take apart the engine to free up the spacer and the rings. I have a new set of pistons on order as of last week. I would love to be able to legally have thin ring groves and never use spacers again.

A couple of years ago, I got a to build a couple of Camaros to test all of the factory drag parts. I'm not afraid of your proposal at all. That's as long as it applies to you too....

Ok with me, but no "factory drag parts" have to use parts the cars came with including the OE wheel diameter. I know that there are 17" front drag wheels and tires but am not aware of and slicks that fit 17" wheels other than fuel dragster tires. I suppose these late model cars will have to run some sort of rally tires on the back.

Does that mean that most 8 & 9 second GT cars will run 12 or 13 inch
wheels?

Ya know, this means that your Mn. Max wedge will have to use 14" wheels!
