Um it's still a 10.5 tire. How's your mythical beast?

[SLOWVERADO]

10.5w isn't the same... my beast is just fine...

[slow55]

No ,well yeah kinda.. Its the "standard" 762 inch motor.
Those times are more from good weather and a badd ass track.
The blower pro mods were running high 3s with jason scruggs going a 3.81@198 and the nitrous pro mods were running 4.00s@181.

[Nate]

It's still considered a 10.5 tire i.e. by the 33 x 10.5 W x 15 written on the side still says 10.5.

[GT-40 GTS]

1/10th of one percent on this board even know what its like to have a real race car.

:p

[slow55]

they are a hell of alot different than 16/33s.
Thats still a small tire for the amount of power being put to them and the times being ran on them.

[SLOWVERADO]

i know what they say. but ask anyone that runs in the classes if they are both just 10.5s

[Nate]

Do you run the class? :confused:

[slow55]

yes actualy they are both just 10.5s.
when sitting still the tires messures 10.5 on the thread. that makes it a 10.5 tire.
Now since they are 33" tall and have a huge roll out thats were they are able to handle the power compaired to a true 10.5. ;)

[SLOWVERADO]

Do You?

Ah you ran the class. :D And I believe I've been in the pits of a few 10.5 tire cars too lol....

[SLOWVERADO]

exactly slow55.... so they aren't anything the same. sitting still who gives two fucks if they are the same. do you race with your tire motionless?

[Nate]

Do You?
Eh pit bitch helping a friend who runs on 10.5's. how about you?

[slow55]

look how hard that car has the wheelie bars bowed. I bet it had around a 1.08 or faster 60'. thats just freaking awesome.. god damn I miss racing :(

[SLOWVERADO]

so you havn't.... there ya go. i know enough about the tire to know that they are two totally different beasts. if they were so similar we wouldn't have 10.5 and outlaw 10.5....

[slow55]

The makers of the class rules.

eh ....they aren't that bowed! lol...Fucking movin though.

I used to run the nova in both true 10.5 and outlaw 10.5. I had 3 sets of wheels,2 with 33/10.5s and 1 set with 29/10.5s. The car ran almost the same on the little ones as it did on the big ones without any changes to car. If i would have changed gearing or maybe a 4 link adjustment with the 29s it probaly would have ran just as fast.
On average I ran 4.81/84 with the 33s and 4.87/90 and a best of 4.85 with the 29s

[slow55]

eh ....they aren't that bowed! lol...Fucking movin though.
they are if knew what they looked like when there not touching the ground

[SLOWVERADO]

how long ago was this slow?

[Nate]

they are if knew what they looked like when there not touching the ground

[SLOWVERADO]

[slow55]

how long ago was this slow?
2 years ago. Thanks to me extreme street in ttt5 was removed for the rest of the season and the rules totaly redone for the next season. :D

[slow55]

No. I just have a unique way of testing the roll cage and seat belts to make sure they hold up to there sfi cert.. :o

But you are still walking and talking. that's what's important man.

Thats why you gota wear the saftey gear & have the car built right. Anyone who doesn't is a pure and simple dumb fuck in my book.

Anyone who doesn't is a pure and simple dumb fuck in my book.I'm glad you were strapped down tight...I'm sure JoJo knows the lesson as well. TINKRD and Andrew both had there belts on tight this past friday as well. If/When I finally get something needing a bar, 5pt harness will always be on when driving it.

[SLOWVERADO]

wow... with the way you run your mouth i would have thought that you'd have something that would atleast require a bar nate.

When did I see your car at the track? If I wanted a race car and not an education I'd have a car.

[SLOWVERADO]

i'm sure you've seen it at the track.... i've had it there several times....

they are 108" long

[f355bird2]

yes actualy they are both just 10.5s.
when sitting still the tires messures 10.5 on the thread. that makes it a 10.5 tire.
Now since they are 33" tall and have a huge roll out thats were they are able to handle the power compaired to a true 10.5. ;)
they are actually 11" tread width look it up

You might wanna check your measurin stick for accuracy, cause they both don't measure 10.5 inches wide sittin still. The "W" tire is an inch wider than a "True 10.5" tire. But none the less, a 4.43 is very, very impressive on a W tire.

Come next year there will be plenty of these big races at Kenny Barnes track in Crandall when it opens. KB's track is gonna be a heads-up track kinda like HMP in Houston. HMP doesn't have a bracket racing program. All they have are heads-up races with some index racing at some of the big races. It's gonna be nice when it opens.

[michaelts71]

anyone else notice what kind of rear tires its got......hoosiers. he might of found something.
