Ah, so you're on the 275 bandwagon without taking part in the class. That's odd.
Only way to roll. Why in the fuck would I narrow my frame to mini tub it? big tires are fucking lame. Does my car have a cage? Does it lack lots of stuff? Yup. Is there a 275 class anywhere near me? Nope.
Call it what you want but big tires are for faggets and I support the 275 class 100%.
The boss' 275X car was built to be an 8.5" Outlaw. He'll be at the import vs domestic shootout with it, and the Civic.
The only thing we have tubbed with big tires - currently - is the S2000 powered '71 Datsun. Would you like the shop number so you can tell him he's a faggot?
what are you trying to convey here? I think that its way more fun/cool to get a car in the 6-7s on a small tire then it is a huge relic tire.
I've told many people that own big tire cars that knock small tire cars what I think about it. Next time you are playing around with your race team, weigh a 10.5 slick and your relic 33" slick. Do the rotating mass calculations to see how much is on the table. Maybe stop by a chassis setup school to learn how to set the car up on a smaller tire.
What I was trying to say is that you have an awful lot of hate for something that simply works, while simultaneously bandwagoning the hot affordable DR class without participating in it. It's kind of like saying you hate Mazdas (#1 most roadraced chassis) while building a spec racer by the rulebook that you'll never compete on a road course with. Me, personally, i just like cars.
How are you controlling your power so that you can hook on that 275 tire, anyway? Goforth's cut some 5.6@126-128 with a 1.2 60' on that tire in an 1100 whp 3200lb chassis, he'd do a lot better if he had a 7135 box.
