Hey Ed, I also watched the 10.5 and street tire cars while I lived in Missouri....they are crazy and extremely dangerous. Most of them are tube cars with twin turbos or nitros. Probably 6.50 cars for a quarter mile at over 200 MPH.
We are talking about cars that might run high 7's....180. I like the 9" X 30" tire because it adds "tune up" to the equation and not just high dollar horsepower. In other words, you have to tune your car to get down the track before you can win. Could always run them 1,000 ft.
