Looks like steam rollers are in a close race for 2nd! Code: Un cut (larger tires/rims, lowered) 35.11% Mostly stock (aftermarket rims/tires) 20.21% Cut it up! (steam rollers!) 19.15% Cut it a little (Mini tubs, larger tires/rims) 13.83% Stock (with stock rims/tires) 11.70%
Un cut (larger tires/rims, lowered) is still way out in front, but Cut it up! (steam rollers!) has taken second place! (just don't be cuttin' up any nice original GS's!!!) :error: :laugh: Code: Un cut (larger tires/rims, lowered) 33.33% Cut it up! (steam rollers!) 20.72% Mostly stock (aftermarket rims/tires) 18.92% Cut it a little (Mini tubs, larger tires/rims) 15.32% Stock (with stock rims/tires) 11.71%
If the car was already killed and needs a new back half, and has the power to back up the steamroller look, go for it.
10.5!!!! 10" tire ALL the WAY! whether its cut or not. It puts more of a challange and skill to the game. Plus you'll never line up the fence line with people like you do with a wheels up small tire car action. When was the last time you seen a big attendance of spectators at a bracket race? ( Just pickin' at the bracket racers :Brow: ) Maybe every once in a while but nothing like you get with good "Heads-Up" action. I've been paid to show up and qualify along with some of the guys I race with. Its made me partial but its also made me give it alot more respect for the time, money ,and effort it takes to make a fast small tire car. Small tires get my vote and respect! :TU:
Just what I need, something else to cause me to pull my hair out! Well, if you stop pulling on your hair and get to workin' on that car.............:laugh: I know what you mean, but I got it figured out now. I just have to get back to get it straightened out. THe end result? I'll either break it or go really FAST! I'm getting it set up to use a 400-700 hp shot of Nitrous. Sounds like fun.......:blast:
my $.02 I like a small tire car...........whats more impressive at the track? A tubbed pro streeter with 3/4 of the engine sticking outta the hood running 11s, or a stock appearing 10" tire car with a 'chute, hangin the frt wheels, runnin 9s? I like'em both but if your gonna show your muscle you better have the Muscle to back it up..................GO SLEEPERS!!!!!!!
If it already needs cut why not go for it. cut it, stuff it with huge meats and a twin turbo bulldog big block.. and have fun :3gears:
That is so hard. I like the NASCAR look with the same size tires all around. Tame stock looking rims with mean tires. But if your going to do real drag racing. You got to slap on some monster meats.
Un cut is holding it's own, but Mostly stock has moved up to second. Stock is still last but is gaining ground! Code: Un cut (larger tires/rims, lowered) 34.76% Mostly stock (aftermarket rims/tires) 20.00% Cut it up! (steam rollers!) 16.19% Cut it a little (Mini tubs, larger tires/rims) 14.76% Stock (with stock rims/tires) 14.29%
I tend to agree w/Greg, I like the stock look, but here is my advice...Build the car you want to build, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, as long as you like it & you think it looks cool, then everybody wins!!! Just don't put oversize 20 inch chrome rims on it that look out of place. :laugh: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...m=250211738514&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015
Kerry-I have 15x10 weld pro stars with 315-60-15 bfg drag radials under my 72. 5 1/8 back space, outer lip is rolled up on the horizontal section, no rubbing. about 12 inches of tread on the ground and 30.5 tall. although its a ford 9 inch, it is standard width.
Wow! It took 2 1/2 years, but stock came up from last place to take third! Un cut is still way out front with mostly stock in second. Code: Un cut (larger tires/rims, lowered) 34.60% Mostly stock (aftermarket rims/tires) 20.25% Stock (with stock rims/tires) 16.03% Cut it up! (steam rollers!) 14.77% Cut it a little (Mini tubs, larger tires/rims) 14.35%
I run 295-65/15 BFG Drag Radials on Centerline 15 x 10 in the rear under stock wheelwells and 15 x 5" Centerlines in the front with front runners. Car sits low and mean. Love the look of a lot of tire under the rear of a car. Not big on the huge rim craze. Too much bling for me.
I've been looking at this old thread for a while now and just selected the use of minitubs on the poll.I saw the pro street movement come and hang for a while.When the pro streets came I was turned off by the paint jobs,I didn't like them then and they look very dated to me today.Outside of that,I love a mean stance with big meats out back and too much engine up front.I would save the full tubs for an all out racer.I can see many who would like to stay down the stock road but someone has to modify some Buicks,I say go as wild with it as you want:Brow: .
