New Guys In WV?

[OnceBitten]

Coonskin Park by the airport or just about anywhere. Been to some cruise-ins at Quaker Steak and Lube that were pretty cool.

When does Quaker Steak have another cruise? Are than any other 10s there?

 

[OnceBitten]

Usually on Saturdays. Check out wvmotorsports.com Quaker is a sponsor on the site. Usually a bunch of ricers there but several old muscle cars and trucks usually show. The wife and I have been thinking ablut hitting the next one and taking the "10" and one of the Grand Nationals. I will check to see when the next one is.

 

[kennygene]

Thanks for the information. I'll look it up. Maybe I'll see you then. Did you go to the track yesterday?

 

[OnceBitten]

No. Trying to decide what size Drag Radials to use. Going on "stockers" is a waste of time.

Talk to John at M and H he will tell you what will work best for your application.

I was thinking about using the "spare" steelies for wheels but not sure if there are any 20" DR's out there.

 

[kennygene]

What is the smallest wheel size we can get over our brakes?

 

[OnceBitten]

Some guys on here have ran 17's. BTW I think there is a cruise-in at Quaker this Saturday.

 

[kennygene]

I didn't figure 17s would clear the front calipers or did they only use them in the rear? Let me know on the cruise. I looked at the other sight wvmotorsports.com but didn't find anything listed.

 

[OnceBitten]

Just the rear.

 

[kennygene]

Do you know the minimum front size?

 

[OnceBitten]

Not sure on the front.

 

[kennygene]

Just wandering, I thought a little about going to a smaller wheel to get more sidewall. I figured it would make the truck ride smoother and handle better on wet roads. I wander if anyone has tried that configuration?

 

[OnceBitten]

What are you running now. You may be able to get taller sidewall in a 22.

 

[kennygene]

I'm running the stock tires. My truck has 10k and in OEM condition other than Magnaflow Exhaust and a K&N drop in filter.

 

[kennygene]

Good luck on truck of the month! I noticed you on the nominees.

 

[FATJACK]

You can use a "45" series tire instead of a "40", will give a little more sidewall without screwing up the looks of the truck.

I was staying in winfield working at the John Amos power plant from December - Febuary, and I saw several between Huntington and Charleston.

 

[kennygene]

I haven't seen any 10's near my home in central WV.
