no, not if you are racing on ice. you will need about 150 pick style steel studs, unless you want to dirt track it all the way. 10" of sharp carbide also.

I'd agree. The type of race you're doing will also have a lot to do with what yo need. Drags? Oval? Radar? and on what surface? Ice? dirt? snow?

Good god man, I only run 162in my srx, it launchs like a motha, This is for ice drags, gettin board figure I would pic the ole SS for another couple races, gonna try 48, and might have to add, but it's all stock so I think 48 willprobably get it done.

I DRAGED RACED A 77 SRX, A 78, A 79 AND A 80. NEVER EVER USED MORE THEN 120 ICE PICKS. MAYBE YOU GUYS ARE CORRECT FOR OVALS. THE hundreds and hundreds of times i talked with the guys at woodyS. it was always you stud for your hp. 3:16 (YAMMIE TONY)

I was speaking for oval racing. I raced my Exciter for 4 years, and that had 165 t nut style pics, plus a hooker set up, and if you drove in hard enough you could still "dirt track" it. drags on grass or ice are a different story. Also on glare ice chisel type studs are a waste, they will not penetrate like a pic will, went through that this year at Eagle River with a 77 srx.
