My idea Run any fuel you want. That right from gas station pump ⛽ gas to whatever you want to spend. I tried of spending 29.00 a gallon for lifting and some guys spend even more. Race gas is not cheap anymore. I know a lot of guys in other classes Super this and that run pump gas. Am pissed. I have to go now my wife is calling me its time for my MEDS.😡 7" tire Rock-On

Be careful what you wish for when doing away with fuel rules. I used to race boats in the 90’s. Where there were no fuel rules. Trust me C-11 is cheap compared to no rules.

Nice to hear from you Frank.

"Street type or drag slick tires, maximum 9 inch tread width"

Good news - rules say you can use the 7" tires. Even street tires. Throw them on there.

Motorcycle guys might know which ones to use.

Question, is there a rule that says you cannot run a smaller tire?
If there is no rule then y’all can run the small tire.
No disrespect but Why penalize the other cars?

Agree. Has anyone measured the tires marked "9" lately?
