I'm not running in Oct as we have too much to do with the new motor and other changes, but March, it's on big time...

So, the drag racers can run 16" rear tires with modified lower control arms and small rotors on the rear. BUT, at 200+ mph you probably get some diameter growth compared to small sidewall fronts, so you'd want a similar tire in front.... remove the front brakes.

You got a chute, you don't need no stinking brakes!

You can always use the "Garlits brake"
