The .90 classes, of course, killed us all. Should with all the crap they have on those cars. I can't see why foot brakers would have any advantage, from what I have seen S & SS are normally pretty close in that dept.

Yes, I forgot to add SS racers to the mix, my point is that "footbrake" racers work harder on their packages than electronics guys and most of the stockers and some SS'ers run tall tires. I run 29" moroso's and when in practice I have run O's and OO"s with them, so how does a tall tire hurt me vs a small tire?
