Drag tire side walls will build too much heat in a mile, especially the rough
surface of Maxton would cause side wall failure. I am pretty sure that the rule
book states that 45 lbs. inflation is the minimum required, that would rule out
slicks. I think the ECTA outlaws slicks in the book... John Beckett can answer
that !!

why does the "thinness" of the sidewall of a drag slick preclude its use in
land speed ? heavier cars ?, greater sidewall heat ?, rules ?
