Thanks Willie, I did misunderstand you, as I stated earlier in the post we also have run them on the rear by reversing the rotation and I know it works, my question was directed toward the rule book, just trying to save some time and money, we don't want to get to speed week and find out they won't let us run. I was aware of the new rule regarding the Good Year frontrunner and we were not intending to run that tire.
Thank you again for taking the time to help me with this question, it's nice to be around people that are interested in helping others.

07/17/09:  EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY  Following a report complied by Tech Committee Chair, Cars Lee Kennedy, Motorcycle Committee Chair Van Butler and Goodyear Tire engineers the SCTA Board of Directors voted to make the 17x22x2.5 tire illegal for use as a DRIVE TIRE.

The tire in question is a 22x2.5 on a 17 inch rim and many tire manufactures make this size of racing tire for drag racing.  It is made by Goodyear and is listed as a Top Fuel frontrunner and has a tire code of D1445. Carroll Shelby has a part number of 808-102-089 or for the 22x4.5x17 a part number of 808-130-089. Some examples of other tire manufactures who make this tire include Mickey Thompson with a part number of 672-3004 and Phoenix tire with a part number of 932-PH460.
