laying frame with drag radials

draggindime072010 · 07-02-2009, 03:15 PM

i want to get a set of 26x10.5 hoosier drag radials for when i take my noma to the track on the weekends the problem is its bagged to lay frame and i dont know if they will fit my bed is cut for 20s and i can cut some more if needed. would i be able to have these tires and not rub the bedside or anything? they would need to be able to tuck you know

draggindime072010 · 07-02-2009, 05:09 PM

nevermind they are not gonna fit i guess i will have to go with a 26x8 or 8.5 inch tire how would those hook up on the track?

Dr. Pepper · 07-02-2009, 07:22 PM

most tracks wont let you run because of the air, and you have a notch too. depends on the track i guess.

draggindime072010 · 07-02-2009, 07:30 PM

really i didnt know that. thats sucks its an 1/8 mile track in mississippi hopefully they will. if not ill just race it on the streets lol i think the truck would look so mean layin frame with some fat ass tires maybe one day ill narrow the frame and narrow a ford 9 inch to tuck some really wide tires

V8Blaze · 07-02-2009, 08:07 PM

its not always the air suspension. They dont want a vehicle having a way to contact the track surface. If you set it up to where you can have a bump stop bolt in and keep the frame off the ground a tech will most probably pass it. This way if anything happens the truck will air down and hit the bump stops on all 4 corners and keep the frame off the track

***orangesonoma*** · 07-02-2009, 08:09 PM

on test and tune nights most tracks dont give a shit..i raced my sonoma bagged and shaved
unless you are running some serious numbers then they may kick you out after your fist pass

draggindime072010 · 07-02-2009, 11:16 PM

my truck doesnt lay in the front yet so i wont have to worry about the front and i could easily set something up for the back. i cant wait to have it running and my motor built and all.when i rebuild it i want it bored .30 over with a 400 crank to make a 383 when its done i should be getting some real power.

why would they kick you out if you ran really good times?

Dr. Pepper · 07-03-2009, 12:27 AM

well i think its under 13's you need a helmet, and most people that dont go to the track too often dont have a helmet just layin around. and the faster you go, the chances are higher to make a mistake. its basically a safety thing.

draggindime072010 · 07-03-2009, 12:38 AM

ohhh ok well i guess they will just have to kick me out lol itll be awhile before im that fast tho

well if you are running 16's im sure they are not worried about you going down the track sideways and flipping end over end and you pose no threat to them

now if you are running 10's they are going to inspect your shit for safety

KENNYMO · 07-03-2009, 01:38 AM

oh and i dont know where you got the info that your tires will not fit and still lay frame cuz i have a tire that is 26x11 on the back of my truck and it lays just fine

draggindime072010 · 07-03-2009, 02:05 AM

really thats awesome did you have to do anything to your frame? and whats your backspace? do you have pics

KENNYMO · 07-03-2009, 02:08 AM

my frame is just notched. but not for the tires. just for the axle like normal. also had to cut the lip off the wheel well. lemme try and find a picture

draggindime072010 · 07-03-2009, 02:10 AM

KENNYMO · 07-03-2009, 02:14 AM

here you go. truck is very dirty in these pics. its not layin in the rear in these pics cuz i didnt have the raised gas tank yet so the driveshaft was hittin the stock crossmember. but it does lay now i just dont have the pictures.

draggindime072010 · 07-03-2009, 02:24 AM

KENNYMO · 07-03-2009, 02:46 AM

draggindime072010 · 07-03-2009, 02:54 AM
