Back in the 70's the tire used on drag cars was narrow tall slicks..
I can't really remember seeing wide tires except on street cars jacked up to the moon.. Very few were fender massaged to take wide tires
A neighbor had a 57 Belair that he drag raced.. Had small spokes up front, black narrow tall MH slicks on the back.. He could pop small wheelies on launch with a 2X4 tunnel ram 292 ci small block with a Muncie..
If Jim could add a few bars to run 9's.. That would be cool.. But it will probably ruin the look he went for and nailed..
"What if" is a terrible monster...
"What if I drove one of our current derby cars"... I fight that all the time but know I CANNOT afford to risk it..
