Anybody do dirt drags?
Just wondering if anybody on here has a two-wheel drive dent that they run in dirt drag racing?
I have a track local to me that has a run every month. 300ft 2 lane dirt track, double elmination.
It wont be anytime soon but I a am wanting to build a dirt drag race truck. I already have some parts put I want to find another shortwheel base truck to use.
The class I would be running is "Pure Stock" class. Headers allowed, any street legal tire, no paddles or bar tires. Can have traction bars and locked diff.
I figure I would run some type of mud tire in the 31x10.50 size. I thought about running 33x12.50 but would they fit?
I have the engine, trans, and rearend I am going to use. Beefed up 302. Rearend is currently 3.25 gears. I figure 3.50 for 31x10.50 and 4.10 for 33x12.50.
Im asking things way ahead of time. May be till next year before I have the time and money to actually get the truck that I am going to use for this. Thanks.

The local track here has atv's, buggies, sand rails, two wheel drive trucks, cars, and four wheel drive trucks.
Its usually always just worked up dirt. But about twice a year they turn the track into a mud pit.
They have stock class, pure stock, super stock, and pro modified.
I always seem to have more fun around two wheel drives so I decided to go that route.
I don't plan to spend alot of money on this project. I just want to have fun. I bought a parts truck awhile back with a good engine, trans, rear end and some other things. I already have a set of wheels I could use.
Im not in a big hurry to do this but I am goin to do it. I have to find a shortwheel base truck first, I don't want to build a long wheel base. Selling more parts off the parts truck should help fund the project some.
Maybe I will have something to run by next year, I don't know yet, ill just have to wait and see.
