Hey Paul, why the use of a tall front tire in drag racing? that car looks great Burchy!

Re: Day 2 wheel suggestions?
 

Didn't the taller front tire move the weight back a little from the front to the back. Added just that more to plant the rear tires...but I could be wrong...makes the car look cool too.

Re: Day 2 wheel suggestions?
 

taller tire was used for rollout aid.

Re: Day 2 wheel suggestions?
 

Sammy, not sure this is the only answer but I recall Bill Jenkins writing abou a staggered front alignment. I think a tall tire would have a similar result and when used together, it would maximize the benefit. Bill mentioned how the configuration could aid in deep staging (shortening the track) or lenghtening the rollout to help prevent a red light. What are your thoughts?

Yes...rollout too but I'm not up on the meaning and I do remember reading something about that in the 70's.

Re: Day 2 wheel suggestions?
 

Just read the article...and makes good sense to get that extra advantage especially if your reactions are really slow.
