Front Engine Dragsters / Re: M&H 14X32X15 tires

« on: January 09, 2016, 06:23:16 PM »

Rooman ,Bruce
Looks like I need some new rear rims
So might try and see what bead locks everyone runs in 7.0
I read the a-fuel limited to 15" wide
16 or 15 diameter rims?
Ultimate class is a-fuel but need to get use to the new long car.

Any suggestions.

Finished one of the new 10# fire bottle mounts,
Maybe second one will go faster
Two new seat belt mount tubes made also.

Thanks Bruce,
It has 14 x 32 15 hoosiers on it is why I was going to go back with same tire,

As you may remember this car it is Rick Whites old A-Fuel car before bead locks were required so he probably ran them.
I don't think the guy who I got it from ever ran it down the track but once or twice.

maybe the 33 X 12 would plant better
 
how much growth do you figure in a tire 33 grows to 37
