2011 Special Events:
GM High Tech Performance Magazine & NOS - Shut Your Face Race
GM High-Tech Performance is always looking to stay on the cutting edge, and what better way than to sponsor a 275 radial/true 10.5 drag racing class. This smaller tire, limited power adder class is all the rage throughout the country and LS engines are proving viable competitors to the traditional small and big-block. A more affordable cousin to Outlaw Drag Radial, this 1/8-mile 275 class will limit turbo and blower size similar to the popular X275 as well as common local series. Look for plenty of boost and juice in this wheels-up stock suspension class that fights for traction using either 275 drag radials or 28x10.5” slicks. Race or simply watch the action, as the fastest small tire LS cars go heads-up and stop all the internet trash talk.
