A GL front end, against a Cal-look (tractor front end) skinny tired, narrowed front end on road course... that would be great.

Nope.. We'd have several injuries and maybe a death when those 135s and Farm All front ends enter more than a straight..

I could imagine rolling into turn 1 at Road Atlanta or Roebling with a set of 135s at 125 MPH... You'd end up catching the front tires on fire and skidding off into the tree line!
But with their "low performance" engines they'd probably be OK... Even though a 135 tire is unsafe for the output of a damn 40 horse!

... I know it wouldn't happen. I just thought it was funny.

Do you think the 135 would make it to 125 mph let alone through a turn....
