Group formed to rescind 1975 9" tire rule!
If you're a current, former or future NHRA Racer with or without dementia and you feel that 9" tires on a Stocker are pure overkill then post your name to this thread or P/M me. OR contact the attending duty nurse. 7" tires should be more than enough!
If you're not interested in commenting then please keep your comments to yourself or in the confines of the nursing home.

Re: Group formed to rescind 1975 9" tire rule!
I want to add my name to the list, I am a racer who isn't racing, I am a NHRA member, with a car, but not racing until ready. I don't remember if I have dementia or whatever it is. 9" tires are more than enough, I run them with 30 lbs of pressure.
If the fast guys don't know how to get their 500 HP cars hooked, then go to Modified Eliminator. Where is the nurse? If I can't see too good, should I remove my blinder. Traction control is moving your foot. Thank you Billy for forming this club, now where are the donuts.

Easy slow pokes.
7 inch tire rule. How about all stockers must have 8 working spark plugs Also burnout with front tires illegal It’s dangerous 😝

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

Anybody out there who wants to, go ahead and run the 7" lower HP guys might even pick up, but I doubt you will any takers. Hell, I say we should have 10" tires! Is it bedtime yet?
