Mike, for your track thrashing, you might want to look at the 315/30/19's... Mine are going to be a tight fit and I'm only going in a straight line... The slightly shorter model I just mentioned might serve you very well...

The 18" Welds will be for Drag strip, I'll run MT DRs so I can still drive them on the weekends like I do now.

Will use my current 20's for the Road Track stuff.

The ones I looked at were DOT and just had some little slits in them.

Nice rig for the most part, which is part of the problem... Some really good guys, though few and far between.... and a huge lot of EGO's from hell....

I've been on nicer rigs recently with better people... and a nicer rig with substantially worse people... On this one, if you aint wearing the company colors of the drilling contractor, you are less than human..

Oh well...

I came in the build threads to see what you were up to, found SSoon's build thread....after two hours of drooling, DAYUM Pete! Another sweet build under your belt

Just make sure you kick me in the right knee... Left one has had seven surgeries to date and there isn't much left to rebuild it with...

Yes, there are the Hoosiers I was looking for... A guy with a shop in Florida got enough people together to get them built..

315/40/19's. Which are 28.9 inches tall... No loss and just a bit of gain in gearing and these tires have been 278 mph on the Ford GT... I'm comfortable they'll handle what we need.

And agreed, Pete and Co built a major league race car for SSSoon...
