P.S. That's a pretty damn wide rear tire. What's it, like a N50 x 15?

No, probably the old M&H street slicks. My partner and I had a pair on his old 67 Camaro (which we street raced). Those things were about 11-11.5 inches wide. All they were was a slick with tread grooves etched into them. I don't remember when NHRA opened the class to allow slicks. For a time, you had to run a "street" tire, these skirted that rule.

Thanks for the info, Robert.

Well, Artie, is he correct?

If I recall correctly, post-1971 Stock Eliminator rules allowed you to run any width (threaded) tire you could stuff into the rear wheel housing without ANY modifications to the inner/outer wheel house and quarter panel.

Bona fide drag slicks were (again) legal to use in Stock by 1975.
