I have seen some V8 cars running some American Racer tires. I think they were more like a dirt track tire or something because they had a tread pattern on them. Either way the cars ran good and hooked up. Both had small block V8s on nitrous.

Make sure they are Drag slicks not circle track tires.Several of the stock car tracks around here have used them for their track tire.I have never seen a drag tire from them.The sidewall in a circle track slick is to stiff for drag racing.
