hey everyone, was reading an old college textbook and came across a very interesting statement. Nearly everything someone does is a result of some percieved flaw of their own.. So does this mean that guys with big tires on their racecars are compensating for a " small camshaft".

The small tire guys constantly going on, and on, and on, and on,.....and on..... about how well they get a small tire to stick sounds more like overcompensating to me. Are you trying to convince everyone....or just yourselves. Smile

Just make sure you hide the Davis traction controller real good if you crank up the monster power & discover your tiny shoes need help. Laughing

(how long before someone gets pissed even though smilies are used? Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing )

Yep Dave,

The guys that like to brag about small tires are just a step above the import guys that like to brag how their engine makes 200 hp per liter or whatever. lol!

Laughing Laughing Laughing , If I was to drag my old Mustang down off of the dusty corner of the top of the office & put a ity-bity true 10.5 slick on it the frame rails & rocker panels would drag on the ground. Junk-pile Cleveland or decent 460, it would be kinda hard to get traction with them tiny tires on there if they don't even come close to touching the track surface. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Big tires FTW! Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

I guess I will eventually fit in to this mix. There are qiute a few guys on BIG tires that can't get down the track also. I've worked on enough of them to know that . How would you categorize me ......... 10.5 tire and a 18"6" car that weighs more than most of the racecars on here ............. then factor in a stick to boot. Glutten for punishment?? or ......
