Back in the early 70's , I remember a racer at a track in New Jersey. There was a guy that ran in brackets ( the class back then was called "Street Eliminator" , 14.00 and slower.) He ran a 1970 full size Chevy, it ran in the 17 second range.. He would run a tall front tire , something like a G78 x 15 and only run about 15 lbs of air in the front tires. The tires would look flat..He would have a ton of roll out and always was a killer on the lights.. To bad back then they didn't have reaction times on the time slips..
