Oh, I think they would be fine in the 2.2 class. But, of course, Ben has the last word on that.

Oh I'm positive there will be some at this event.

I have seen them and I can tell you, they are unbelievable. I opened the picture of them and my first reaction was "Holy shit! Those are perfect".
I'm sure you guys will like them as well.

When is the event?

Griz....I agree with you. I do think that these are going to be a tough tire to beat in any class. Very cool.

Who designed these tires you speak of? Was it a veteran in the crawling industry?

Lemme think, A tire manufacturer that has interest in crawling but we haven't seen yet, Hmmm if it is who I think it is and have used their tires on other racers, and on a scaler knowing how great their compound would be for crawling I can only imagine greatness

This is bullshit.

Right now I've got tires on that work, and look perfectly scale (narrowed, reduced Dirt works). I've been running them long enough to know how they perform, where they work and how they work, and I'm comfortable driving them. Now you want to change the rules?

Way to stifle innovation and creativity. How about a "no modified bodies" rule next?

You girls and your rules. Why can't you all just shut up and let the rules of the event run the event. I don't care if you want this or don't want that. How about you all just show up and run what you brung?

Grimace out.
