Street car shootout for radial cars only,no bias ply slicks or skinnys,DOT tires only.

You can test & tune with slicks or Grudge race.3 to midnight,December 7 2013.

According to the rules you can skinnies as long as they are not bias ply

I doubt they are DOT approved though...

Im totally putting this on the list too. I just posted to facebook asking about the front tires..... If not I can run 9s on my stock fronts

[monty1269 29]

Sweet!

Sweet!

[Corrupted 32]

Hmmm, maybe this would be a good time to switch to the M&H 325 DR.

[Drp6982 31]

I just had some back and forth with them on FB.... I think its kinda BS that they wont allow front runner Bias Ply even though they are DOT approved.... they guy says its for safety but that's BS too.... You know there will be a bunch of GT-Rs out there without an announce of interior safety (roll bar etc)

Guy said he will consult the rules committee.

[Drp6982 31]

Got a private message on FB from the "Rules Committee"

"I was able to get those tires approved. Having them reword the RWD class rules for tires."

So they will let us use Bias Ply front runners

[MoparManiac 17]

Cool,I checked my front skinnies yesterday and they're stamped DOT.It's safer to drive through the water box with them and not drag water up to the line.

Rule change was made

Rule Modification: We've listened to requests and concerns about racers running Bias Ply "skinnies" on their cars. As the rules are written, this is technically disallowed as they are not a radial tire. However, the radial tire limitation is targeted at the driving wheels on the car to create an equal playing field. After reviewing the impact of Bias Ply skinnies the rules have been adjusted to allow Bias Ply tires on the non driving axle. This will be applied as follows:

RWD: Bias Ply skinnies allowed on the front wheels only
FWD: Bias Ply skinnies allowed on the rear wheels only
AWD: No change, Bias Plys not allowed, Radial/Drag Radial Tires only.
