i just took my rx out on the track they have cause the nice lady at the gate let me look around,, :)

and even on street tires i hook up well in 4wd looks to be a mix of sand and dirt

for sports class .. i am guessing that what i would be catagorized as.. it like 20 or so bux the place also has a huge by large atv / moto cross setup provided i get my pitch stopper bracket built by then i plan on entering

 

so anyone else wanna drag race subie's where they belong? in the dirt!

I don't know about taking my rx into the sand, but I might want to take some pictures there. Looks cool

Hmmm, paddle wheels on a XT6 :brow:

Yeah, sure, whatever. Where you going to find 50-series paddle wheels for YOUR XT6??? :-p

It just came to me, there was a guy at WCSS3 with a XT6 that had paddle wheels. Qman actually bought what was left of the car this year after the owner rolled it. Him and Zap got rides, they have stories about that.

I was thinking more like, "How the @#$% could you fit any tall tires under your lowrider???"

the guy i used to work for put tractor tires on his son's ea82 coupe... had to take the front fenders off to fit em, but im sure there is nothing hed get stuck in. tractor tires do strange burnots though.

my street tires hi range 4wd and no center diff combined with the lsd seemed to do fairly well... doesn't wanna turn fer crap at higher speeds .. but straight line seemed to do good

at least i can do a clutch dump in a sand/dirt drag strip and prolly not break anything provided i get my bracket made to keep the intercooler from slapping the fire wall

 

and yes if i do partcipate there will be a person there with my digi videocam so i can made a video of it an post it online

Uh, my "other one" is stock. I think I still have some rear air shocks, it would need something different up front tho.

so i went back out to the track to go do a few test runs now that i have my overkill pitch stopper bracket built

 

i wanted to make sure i could at least do decent-ish before i went and played in front of people

 

and from a 3k launch in low 4 and shifting about 4k-4500 by about 1/2 to 3/4 track in really soft dirt/sand mix i can hit 55 ..

so i figure with that kinda result if during the drags i let it wind out a bit more i might not do half bad depending on who/what i am up against

 

oh and this is on street tires .. those that have seen my wagon at wcss 6 and the rx at the tail end of wcss 7 can prolly attest to the fact that i am indeed running street tires :)

 

 

so will i be the only suby out there?

come on i need a cheering section lol

I don't currently have a running car suitable for sand drags, but I'll see what I can do about having the 24th off. I'll come cheer you on!

Those were standard ag tires from the looks of it. You should be able to find some pretty easy, and they should hook up like a mofo in the sand.
