Is the whole event going to be run 1/8th mile or just box?



Box and the 10.5 heads up will be 1/8th mile, the rest are 1/4



Ok, why would Box and 10.5 be 1/8th mile and S/S be 1/4 mile? Alot of the S/S cars run well into the 9's.

Glassman, I wouldn't want to see anyone blow a tire anywhere on the track. It sounds to me that you were just plain lucky. However if the track is too rough for cars with 32" tires running 10.50's, then why wholdn't it be too rough for a car running 9.80's on 10.5" tires?

Yep, I was plain lucky that when the inner tube blew, the actual seal on the rim kept most of the air contained within the tire, enough to get me back to the trailer. After talking to Animal Mike about it, we decided that the tube was at least 15 years old. NOT GOOD. As far as MCIR I have seen Bullit Bob Reed dial his ss/ah car in at that track , and run right on his dial in. Maybe because all s/s cars run stock front suspension is the reason for the 1/4-1/8th mile race difference. Maybe a safety factor?
