WILD THINGS ARE COMING!

Thu, 2008-01-10 17:43

It's no secret that outlaw style racing has rapidly become one of the
hottest venues to hit the drag racing scene. Blossoming in the southern
states and making its way to each coast, fans have been able to
experience some of the wildest heads up action that only an outlaw
doorslammer series can provide.

For those who live in the Midwest, there is an eighth mile series that
has been steadily growing called Outlaw Street Madness. Friendly, fun
and affordable, this series includes three heads up classes and two
index
classes offering something for every level of player.

If you think Outlaw 10.5 is wild, OSM's Outlaw 8.5 is simply off the
hook! Yes that's right. eight and a half inches of tire putting down
times as fast as mid five second passes. And dragging the bumper to
boot! This little class has exploded, so much that it has prompted tire
makers such as Mickey Thompson to take an interest in the possibility
of re-developing the tire, making it safer for the increasing speed and
workload.
