To settle this for everyone, we took the car to Grundy to shake it down and make sure the issue we had at the Grove was gone. It was either this or take it to a chassis dyno. Now I'm not saying that you can't run a dirt car on pavement, it can be done with the right setup on the car. I know this for a fact because I built what was a dirt midget chassis to run on pavement and it beat some of the best USAC midget drivers at the time at Grundy for 7 wins. And as far as I know, the last dirt car which was actually a combo car to win a pavement race was in 1997 at Phoenix with Jimmy Kite in it...
