    He was in the Roushe headquarter building and as they were touring through on of the many garage areas I caught a pretty good glimpse of the rear end of a Yellow Maverick Looked like it was setup pretty good for the drag strip but really couldn't tell much from the limited view.

    :hmmm: Don't want to sound too dumb, but how do you get tires that wide on a Maverick. Springs are right there. Not that I want to, but might like alittle wider than seems possiable. :huh:

    Don Bowles runs that car in the NMRA "Hot Street" class. He was world champion in 2009....at 70 years old! That car runs in the mid 8s on 10.5 tires.
