    Dorky car

    Race season is over for me, I know there are a few weekends of TnT left, but I will be traveling for work. So after running around all year with the big-n-littles on my car, I swapped over to my street wheels / tires tonight so I could drive the car a little more if the weather isnt perfect, and ultimately get it ready to be put up for winter..

    Before:


    After - 225/50/16's on Waffle Star wheels


    I did the SVO brake flip / fox axle swap last winter to get the 27" rear tires under this car. You can really see how much moving the wheel in 1 1/2" means compared to the front. Now with the street tires........


    This is how the rear wells looked with real tires on there............


    I hate winter ;)

    GGG pics are up, Bob, in case you didn't see 'em yet. I don't know if the car porn makes winter better or worse.

    You arent kidding. Although it was fun to drive it to work today without worry of three drops of rain ganging up on me :D

    Me too ;) for next year, I will have two more pro-stars with treaded street tires to run around on, then go back to swapping at the track. I love driving this car.

    Thanks Chuck, Tom told me about it today and I was checking them out. Still not bad for only being able to run 15 psi boost this weekend, but no wheels up launches ;) Car was MUCH more consistant at low boost, makes it tough to turn it back up (but I will :D )

    What did your best pass end up being this year Bob? Btw, it's amazing what a set of wheels can do to a car!
