Official Blackwall Blitz 2017

I would like to see a race of the mid 70’s-early 90’s cars. They still produce these “Blackwall” wheels today, but let’s race some vintage cars here!!! These wheels were built for looks over speed. Dig through your collection, or dig one up on ebay and see if you can coax some speed out of a vintage car. You’ll have two shots to win, and two tracks to compete on. The first race would be for the stock,un-drilled vintage Blackwall car. Second race is for you Modified racers, take your vintage Blackwall car and upgrade the wheels/alxes to 5SP

Original blackwall cars had these wheels
