Re: Group formed to rescind 1975 9" tire rule!
Great Idea Billy....
That might stop the rush to make Stock into Super Stock...& equalize the old combos with the new factory cars. That is what we had when I started and somewhere along the way the high HP guys wanted 9". Would love to see a COPO on 7" tires...

Re: Group formed to rescind 1975 9" tire rule!
I tried the 7" tires with no success, I know that the SS class of the Southeast Gasser Association mandates that the racers use the 7" tires. They only run the 1/8 mile and I know that some hook pretty well to allow them to run well into the 6,60 second range at 105 MPH.
I would try the 7" tires again, they were 5lbs lighter than the 9" tires which means more wheel speed. Casey Miles 248H Stock |

10% throttle , 0 deg. timing..all in by 1000' mark. Maybe a few wagon combos could handle 7" tires W.A. Lee, 350 /2bbl, used the old Jr Stock Firestone dot 5's when 9 inchers were legal. He'd run them at about 30-35 psi, stand on the converter, WFO, and just let go of the brake. Won quite a bit that way.. I think my old R/Stock wagon is still around in PA. somewhere.. 7 " SEGA spec Hoosiers.. Hmmm I think it would work ;-)
