Lets see? Six hundred for tires, four hundred in T-bars, four hundred in shocks? Big Motor Pavement just suck the power up like it't going out of style. But it would be fun. About 15 years ago when USAC was dong a lot of pavement Midget racing, we made a TV commercial at the Sportsdrome in Jeffersonville In. with a 600cc car using Midget take off's. The first thing we noticed was it took a lot lower gear to run a 1/4 asphalt verses a 1/4 mile dirt. There just wasn't any slip. We tried for 3 or 4 years to get them to put us on the program at the Sportsdrome but they were scared to death of Mini Sprints, and besides we were lapping the track faster than their late models.
Those big old dirt tires just wouldn't make it on pavement, too soft too much flex. asphalt is not a bit like Coke Sirup on concrete.
If we could get a line on pavement tires now we would probably go play.
