I have a pair of ET Streets (26X10.5) and was wondering if I needed longer wheel studs for the rear lugs at the track? BTW I have an auto and a mild BBC. TIA

As long as you are not using thick hub aftermarket wheels, you will be fine with stock studs.

I believe the rule is that the wheel stud should stick out the end of the nut the same amount as the stud diameter. So if you have 7/16 wheel studs, there should be 7/16" of the stud sticking out past the nut.

On my car there are only about 2-3 threads that stick out through the nut, but i've never been hassled about it.
