Re: Mini Tubbing A 70 Nova
You guys that run 10.5 have more guts than I do,I have done a lot of body work on guys cars that run 10.5 tires after they became friendly with the wall,I run 32x14x15 and I like that size just fine...lolJohn_Heard wrote:Nope, it's been cut down, uh, I think twice now. It's a 9" Ford.

Re: Mini Tubbing A 70 Nova
To me drag racing is going from point A to point B as fast as you can not seeing if you can go the distance without spinning the tires.If you like sliding around maybe you should get into DRIFTING instead...LOL1970ssnova wrote:i just sold my big tire car to build a 10.5 car but we do more street raceing so i dont know what to do now i guess build a semi big tire car my last one was 33/16.5x15 but wasnt any fun on the street cruiseing around in every once in a while .but would hook very well

Re: Mini Tubbing A 70 Nova
yup I guess we do have the same combination,I used to love street racing and was pretty good at it but with friends getting killed and other guys losing their licence plus getting older I kind of decided to do it at the track instead of on the street.Now my car is street legal and once in a great while I will take it out and play but the cops in this town are every where.1970ssnova wrote:i agree from point a to b.to a point we street race more than anything though from a stop ..screw drifting .if my car is only good at the race track its useless to me i like haveing fun all the time instead of once a week
