Yep, which kinda shows you whats going on between the slick and radial.
- Woody shows up with slicks and wheelie bars ready to run 10.5, Made a couple passes, couldn't figure it out(for whatever reason) and went back to the radial and did well in qualy[/QUOte

Yep. It's hard to believe there aren't enough true Outlaw 10.5 cars to field the class but since I'm not an East Coast racer my input doesn't carry any weight out there. I was pissed at Mel for including them at SCSN. Many of the other racers were too. The Canadians especially. They haul down several cars every years and really support the race. We'll see if that continues now.

Honestly, the problem is not the tire...it's the rules that he uses for the class in St.Louis and Vegas. They are basically RVW rules with minor differences...and you can run the 10.5 tire also.


My combo...SBTT is 2400lbs there...not a shot in hell I could get my car...following Outlaw 10.5 rules, anywhere near that weight. If he wants REAL 10.5 cars to show, which maybe he doesn't. The rules have to be the same rules as the National 10.5 rules...otherwise it will continue to be a shit show of ProModish type cars.

Bump for a 2020 solution to the Radial vs 10.5 solution. Pick a class with rules and everybody get behind it. To continue down the current path is not good for anybody....just a random thought.
