I have a set of 26" x 9" x 18" tires and find that I need 29 or 30" tall tires for 260mph with my gears and trans. I'm hoping someone has some tires that will allow me a shot at setting a record.
I need a SFI /20 suit and sfi 015 gloves & boots (written in other thread).
Fire extinguisher system for 200+mph
Window net.
Thanks.

Ted, first we need you to go to your info page and let us know what part of the country you are in, 2nd what are you building as the vehicle will need all safety equipment for the class record you will be runnin in.
You can talk to Joe Timney at Deleware Chassis for any fab help and questions. With additional info you will get a faster answer to questions. Gook luck on the build and keep us posted.

Ted:
I can help you get an affordable fire suppression system, you will need 11 lbs minimum for 200 mph. Most people buy either(2) 10 lbs or a 10 and 5 lbs system. You can click on our Parkland Autosport banner above. Our number is 954-570-8900 EST. If you cannot find a suitable used fire suit we are a SPARCO dealer and can help you with anything they make as well.
Good luck with your build

Thanks guys. I did make a post on Introductions.
Here's a couple of my cars. I lived a drag racer and since there was no drag strip in Vancouver for 16 years I was a street racer, hard core :cheers:
I've since done Rallying, Mountain Climb, Open Road Rally, Standing half and Standing Mile events.
My Twin Turbo Viper is 1100hp on pump gas and is mostly equipped with very expensive SFI parts. It's short geared at 215mph in about 3/4 mile with 28" tall Hoosier R6s.
I used to be retired, but cars and my lust for speed (as well as Income Tax) forced me to go back to work.
