Yeah, I heard there might be some top fuel cars too...

Yeah, I heard there might be some top fuel cars too...

Just a few, I think...with the motor in the front & all!

There will be top fuel but the question is will they have tires to run on. Last I heard M&H had put some pretty strict rules on tire usage and that the Goodguys were getting stuck enforcing them. Minimum tire pressure is to be set at 10 lbs. Tires can only be installed with the direction arrows going the proper way and a couple of other rules I've heard rumored. Seems there were a few tire problems at the Reunion and M&H is nipping them in the bud. There was a group a few years ago that said no tire smoke on a top fuel run was a DQ. That rule might be back at 10 lbs pressure. Anyone know what they actually run in those tires?

I would guess 6-8 pounds.

I think you've got the NW date confused with the annual Puyallup Car Show. There are no drag racing events in their released schedule.

Thanks for the info concerning the NW deal.

The tire thing will be interesting. The question is, how are they going to insure that the pressures are 10lbs at roll out?? And it's easy to pump the tires at the other end.
