Who am I to say what should or shouldn't go on into a performance based series but I have several friends who do run in the class and have been a huge supporter of the class for years. But hear goes....
I could be wrong but I believe FJ Smith's CanAm series does not have heads up runs for similar classed cars to PROMOTE good sized fields. Maybe Dave Turner or Venice Perno could comment and clarify. If you want to get the series up and running, established so to speak, make it more attractive for everyone to compete and get their feet wet without one class car scaring all of his/her peers away. You guys and gals compete at a lot of NHRA nationals and divisionals to be able to strut your performance advantage. Use the association to allow everyone to stay sharp! Yes, I know it is not what the integrity of the class was built on but associations can put their own spin on things to stay healthy and viable. Just my .02 cents for what it may or may not be worth.. Mike |

Great explanation of goat's heads, Larry. I was wondering what in the heck you guys were referring to.

Yes, they are very hard on front tires, especially the 29" MTs with the vertical grooves. The goat heads fit in the grooves very nicely and poke a hole in the tire. I remember one time at Yakima I had to plug my fronts 4 or 5 times. After that I started taking the street tire fronts I use on my bracket car. They aren't as hard on slicks as long as you have plenty of wear left. I don't think Beard's slicks would last too long. ![]() -Toby Last edited by Toby Lang; 07-26-2010 at 03:55 PM. |

They did not sell VP at last years division race. I just tried to call the track to find out for sure but could not get a hold of anyone. Will try again and let you know if I hear anything - I would plan on bringing some fuel.

Cindy just called back and they will in fact have VP fuel at the track - the distributor just left Cindy Gibb-Arias office about an hour ago so she tells me!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to find out. It's much appreciated. I'm still driving home from Sonoma. Had another rear dually tire blow last night. I haven't had a tire blow for a few years. I guess it's making up for it this trip. ![]() -Toby |

Better change them all Toby. The rest won't be far behind.
