Big Wheel DR speeds.

[Big Jay]

So what would you consider a "fast" mph would be on 16",17",18" drag radial tires??? I ran in a DR class this weekend. No 15" tires allowed.

On what kind of car. N/A, blower/turbo, nitrous? You could go 140mph.

Am I to understand that the 15" setup would give a noticable advantage over the larger setup?

Yes, because they would hookup easier due to the larger and softer sidewalls. Easier to shock the tires without spinning.

So confused...

What are you asking. What size tire would be good for high speeds????

I would say 143 is fast. I saw a car this week run 11.4 at 143mph. That seemed pretty fast.

Yes I know that You car looked really good man. Biggest turbo I have seen in awhile. I know you won the DR class. What did you end up running? Tommy's setup was sick as well.

10.9 @ 143? Jesus, get some slicks or some traction!

Hey Jay what kinda brake system do you have?

Also did you have to have a shoot or anything? I can't remember what the mph was that you were required to have one? I was thinking it was 130 or 150?

Give me till spring and i should be in the same boat as you.

And IF you were really looking for an answer to what tire size I would say 16's of coarse. (But i think you knew that... lol)

Great times man.... Hey drop me a line at [email protected] I have a bunch of questions for you on my upcoming setup.
