Re: Wheel spacers
 
I've been accused of that but then I've also seen videos of Grand Cherokees
running at drag strips.

The techs would have to class them somewhere...... even if it is just the
Saturday morning practice runs.

The 4.7 would run in a pretty slow class..... something like V/SA but the
4.0 is about 2 seconds slower.

Yes, I have seen 4x4s running at the strip also, in bracket classes, but
the NHRA does not have a stock eliminator class that includes any 4wd
vehicles that I know of. Bracket racing is a whole different animal.

Re: Wheel spacers
 
Since Wranglers aren't allowed on a strip, it doens't really matter if wheel
spacers on a Wrangler are illegal, does it?

Tell you what, I'll race your Thunderbird with me in my TJ, but since we
can't do it on a strip I will pick another course:
