Hey guys, what kind of tires do you use to run those speeds?

  Dennis in Lititz PA

Hey, Dennis. We use Goodyear Front Runners on both front and back and they are easily available from Jegs and Summit. I use 29" dia. in the rear and 25" dia. in the front. I have seen cars capable of 225 mph pass tech with these tires. They are very light and have very little tread.



The largest group of users are the drag race cars. Obviously they use slicks in the rear and hence the term Front Runners.

Moroso, Firestone, and M & H frontrunner tires have been used succesfully in LSR as well a Dunlop Vintage Racing tyres which are up to 32" in diameter. M & H diameters are as little as 22" and have run near 300. ZR "street tires" are good to 200 and I've run Michilen HR "Highway patrol" tires in the past to 170 when it was allowed. Under 200 today tires are not too much of a problem but 350 to 400 they are a big one..............JD

Charlie, with leaving for Columbus, I forgot to wish you a happy birthday. If I'd have seen you in person I would have remembered. No point in coming with rain like that though. Happy belated birthday anyway.

Thanks Dennis, I see the Pinto won again and against Harry. Did you dazzle 'em for a few rounds with a consistent ET and a great RT?

Charlie, this was not my year. In the 1st round of y blocks, I missed 2nd gear. Was a full second slower. 1st round of bracket 3 I had a terrible reaction time and lost.



We reset the points friday afternoon and Wally retimed the motor. Saturday morning it ran a 17.949 @ 76 mph my personal best.

Dennis, a personal best is always a good thing.  I'm still quite a few MPH from a record in my truck but I go faster each time.  Personal best is the only award I get.

Tim, I was tickled to run that. I hope the photographers caught the scoreboard. 17 seconds is a big deal for me.
