That is kinda scary! I think that realistically, that car needs bead locks, I don't think I have ever seen a rear wheel with that many rim screws!

I'm wondering if its just a radial thing... but you could see that it pulled in to the screws(and he sure has enough of them... if I had to put that many in I would have gone to bead locks)

He is running a slick. It is not a drag radial.

Another DR guy that would have been DQ'd at our track before he staged....Can't go past the line doing a burnout with a door car.
So a outlaw 10.5 car can't go past the starting line on the burnout at your track? Wow I guess you don't run any of them there.
We get a couple of them now and again...Can't say I have seen a whole class of them run. Still not allowed to go past the beams...DQ'd!

For the record; Charlie doesnt run a radial tire, he runs a 28x10.5 stiff side wall slick. He's has many championships with NMCA and NMRA Hotstreet and Pro Stock under his belt with that stang! Charlie is a good guy! And by the way, that car now sports a Pro flight trans.
It's a bigblock with a torque flight!!!

Who's making those? And what is it exactly?
I see Transact has a set of straight cut gears comming out and a conversion to convert a 727 into a two speed trans with different 1st gear ratios available soon according to their website.

Yeah, I think if I saw that on my car there would be beadlocks on it the next time out.

How about just getting the right size wheels for the tires. There is an accident waiting to happen - not to mention not getting good use of the tire foot print.
A lot of racers, especially the small tire guys are using wider wheels by an inch or so of the tread width. I think the reasoning is that they can run more air pressure and keep a flatter footprint, at least that's what I heard.
