I just got back from being at the track all day supporting a friend of mine and I saw the single biggest pair of tires Ive ever seen in my life! Im sure they make bigger ones, but I had to snap a pic anyway!



there were some FAST cars there... the car with the big slicks ran low to mid 8's. also the cobra behind it got a 10.08 and a 10.04 but unfortunately never saw 9's. Lotsa muscle cars, lotsa slicks, and lotsa 8's and 9's.

Those aren't too big... you need to come down to VA, all we have is old cars like that down here. Big fatties on the rear, super skinny ones on the front. I think thats looks like a Chevy Nova but I'm not sure. Some of those older ones look all the same to me. tongue.gif

I've seen an older Camaro with rear tires that were literally a foot apart on the rear of the car. Ran nasty times.

What did that Firebird run? I see it has slicks and skinnies upfront, so it had to be at least an 11 second car.
