slick decision

Thanks John. I know your cars now. My Uncle Ron knows them and you fairly good I believe. As you let him run one of yours one year in Vegas and he won!

My car is mini tubbed and the springs are relocated. I currently have a 10" wide wheel with 5" BS under it. I don't want to go larger than a 28" tire. I have been told I will need to trim the front side of the wheel opening to fit a larger tire.

I have always thought it is not good to mix radial and bias tires. Sounds like that has changed.

Thank you for your input.

My old car(3220 currently Duster) has been 9.50’s at 140 on CE 3 way shocks all around, 002/003 super stock springs and Hoosier 28 by 11.5(10 inch measured) QTP tires. It’s not even minitubbed. Was slightly slower when I raced it. These are bias DOT tires he and I both run/ran with tubes to stiffen the sidewall
Ultra consistent car.
I suspect the change to a more forgiving bias tire and some clutch adjustment will go a long way towards making the car more consistent.
Frankly, if you want to remove being a semi rocket scientist…lol and make it much easier on yourself…..put an automatic in it.
