Some have been saying that I don't need to drag a big tire all the way done the track when I'm a low HP car.

Jeff are you looking at the lightweight radial or is that bad for such a heavy car?

![]() ![]() Here is a problem I created. I bought these brakes used and the brackets are for big axle bearing which I do not have. So I made this spacer to help support axle flange and bearing, plus seal gear oil from leaking out. ![]() Last edited by Jeff Stout; 09-20-2017 at 02:14 PM. Reason: more |

They are probably right Jeff, when i raced the1968 BelAir wagon it was hard pulling those tires but actually we started airing them up a little at a time and we would go faster and it still hooked okay it also depended on the track but it hooked almost everywhere.

Thanks for the replys. The 6.14 and the 94 rollout tire is what I was able to purchase frugally ( if thats a word) so this is what I have to start with. With altitude here in AZ I figured this much gear wouldn't hurt. Maybe back east it would be to much or Pomona
