Default WTF did I sign up for.....

We're going to North Mississippi for a heads up race called- 9" nightmares. It's basically a "run what you brung" race, but it's a spec tire race, everyone runs a 28x9 mickey t. slick.. I got the tires mounted on the spare rims this afternoon, and DAMN they look little.. I'm thinking we can run 5.50's on them, but it's going to be one hell of a ride..

LOL.......they do look small..........but damn.....look what they're next to!!! what size are those M/T radials?

Dave

btw.......i was wondering if you could pm me with your tranny and rear gear sizing to see if i'm on the right track. in the end, i'm looking at running a TH210, 3.70 gear, and a 30" tire with my TT427 sbc @ 3300lbs. race weight roughly. sound decent? it's not an all out drag car either and i wont spin the motor beyond 6800 RPM's. TIA Brady.

I understand, although I don't have your kind of power. 9" tires can sure look small compared to a 10.5"

I think I'd pass on any race that has the word "nightmare" in the title. Then again, my ***** reside in a jar on the mantle. You'll be driving your *** off w/ your power and that tire Good luck.

Later,


Steve.
