Does anyone know for sure what tires they are allowing to run on Sunday night. On the site it says HARD DOT but it doesnt specify. I am about to order new rear tires for the bird and I dont want to order something that they wont let me run on.
Are Micky DR's ok, BFG DR's, Nitto DR's???
What is acceptable?

I think any street driven drag radials is fine. Just not slicks. Anything thats DOT approved for street use like Mickey Thomson, Nittos, BF Drags...basically anything with tread lol. I think MT is the closest thing to a full slick because of the soft compound but still street legal and has tread.

was he running like a drag lite or something? Like a 15in rim? They technically want a street rim with a street tire (radial)

There not going to let you run a hoosier. I had highest mph at last event with 149. Danny had a 150 pass in the zr1 and got booted because he had a hoosier drag radial. Also be be carefull no water in the water box. They will only spray a little water on the asphalt then you roll thru it and do a burnout. Broke alot of cars doing this. Hell you can go to street events and they put vht and water on the street. I would go to another one if they put water in the boxes but for now I think we are done. Not going to risk breaking an expensive IRS for no water on a burnout. Hopefully Lethal will be racing against some of the big cars in Houston and Dallas at the KOTS event they have at an private airport. We also went to a track rental yesterday and ran 9.71@146 so Lethal has the cam only record for a ZR1 right now! Hell yea!

Bfgs and Nittos are ok. Freddy told me no Mickey Thompsons, and didn't let me run with Hoosier drag radials. Ran a 9.90@150 ,then he said no AFTER I had been teched in with them. I understand not being able to use a ET street because it is a bias ply tire,but a drag radial is a drag radial. Also, they are not spraying any water,so more of a chance ******* up your car if you are running a drag radial.
