Super Stock Tuning Guide

Thanks, I'll have to check them out. Do you know what size they are? The size I'm using are class legal as far as the front tires still touching the track, could probably go a little bit smaller. Another good place to check out is eletrical surplus stores. Chuck scored about 200 orings for $2. They work perfect on most HO front wheels.

Tire Rules
Tires/ Wheels: Tires shall be made of rubber, silicone, or a popular blend, readily available from normal retail outlets. Any wheel and tire not exceeding the dimensions, form and function of RRR part #821 Wheel Tire set (RRR NARROWS) i.e. a maximum tire width of .115" is permitted." Front and rear tire/wheel set may be of differing dimensions. Lo-profile tires are permitted, but tires must be of sufficient diameter so as to contact track when car is in a normal on–track attitude. (local ground rules may allow the near-touching of front tires.) Tires may be bonded to the wheels. Delrin wheels, injection molded wheels and similar aftermarket wheels and tires are permitted if they do not exceed the dimensions of the aforementioned RRR wheel and tires. Specifically prohibited are coated foam tires, and foam tires. Front wheels may not extend in width beyond the fender lip, as measured vertically from the 12 o'clock position on the wheel opening arc.

Here are the things that we've done to our cars along with Jet's tune up tips if anyone is interested. Kim and I are running silver motor brushes that can be found through Jags here on this page

Don't forget to add brush tension as Jet describes in the tuning guide.

BSRT pick up shoes #504 which can be found through Lucky Bob's here

I found these pick up shoes to work best on our cars.

And we added lead weight to the front of the cars. I'll take pictures of the weight when I get the cars back.

If your running RRR wheels and tires. Try the same size orings I mentioned above on the front. Also as mentioned we took the front RRR tires off the front and put them on the rear. The cars seemed to run better this way and will get your car up to speed quicker, which should help on the 1/8th mile.

Was that at the end of the track or 1/2 track? I think my tbolt might need a little taller tire also.

I'm sure we'll see Ford's and Dodge's, I mean cars in the 1.1 range at the Nat's and 8mph. ;D

I said Chevy also, didn't I?? .

Kind of interesting from the t&t results. We had a GM run #1 , Dodge #2 and a Ford #3. All powered by Aurora

The Super Stock T & T cars are on their way back. Good service you say ? Wait till I mention I forgot to add the timeing slips to the boxes...My Bad. I'll stuff them in an envolop and they will be out tomorrow. Some of them have advice on the back so this is important.

Got my car back today and also got a nice surpris with it besides the RRR wheels got a Nice 440 body.Thanks KDOG!!!!!

Great that was one sweet running car, I can hardly wait to see the 6 or so fast cars run the heads up race. It must have been the runs, it was so nice we didn't feel the need for Tuneing.
