DAILY DRIVER IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring on the race tires!

I guess they didn't want steel Fox bodies in Steel Unlimited... you can have an 81 Camaro but not an 81 Mustang.

BUT - I see 1968 in FX!

What's with the 3000 pound race weights in so many classes?

[MoparBilly]

Love that rule about the tires, gonna be great to see all those Yukons and trucks on drag radials!

It's called the CHEVY RULE

[CDMBill]

So there is a no Fox rule for Unlimited Iron, well there haven't been any to date anyway. '68 engine families in Gasser, whoo hoooo! Interesting cylinder head rule there. Now to find that '56 T-bird again. An 8-71 on a 572 should be fun. The Fox project will be cheaper without all the carbon fiber parts in Street Race. Game on.

[CDMBill]

Oh, and thank god for the race tire only rule. Street tires are for Power Tour.

[Wolf]

I wish they'd make an exception on the tire rule for the FAST class cars though.

[Orange65]

Not trying to start anything here Wolf, just asking a question- How many FAST cars were there last year? And what does it affect if they have to run a skinny slick on the car? They are not rewarded by running a tire that cripples performance. I am sure that the tire rule is there to keep the track in good condition since street tires tend to do bad things to it.

8-71 on a 555 ... they're still out to get you. lol.

[MoparBilly]

C'mon Bill, the fox at 2700lbs in SS BB Na would be killer. Are P-51s considered conventional? Might have to do a 385 in a Valiant...

[tsanchez]

Woohoo, my class stayed the same, it would have been nice to have a big block and small block class but thats just fine, and my buddie is legal for super street power adder small block.

I don't disagree. I thought the Super Bee was one of the coolest cars ever run at Drag Week, and I read they were planning on bringing more cars next year. Sure they can run on small slicks, but I have a special appreciation for watching a stock appearing musclecar run in the 10s on a skinny stock bias ply tire.

I think part of the tire rule is to also eliminate - or at least make it harder to run - the typical 16 second pickup truck/true daily driver, and I'm 110% behind that idea.
