    Tire doing work

    Put my GoPro in front of a rear tire on a pass at Mason Dixon yesterday.

    Truck works out out nice for these type of races ... Towed my car down there to run limited street, dropped the trailer and she could run drive in street. I would really like to find a couple mote tenth so for it, but won't go through what's needed to tune it (new ECU) and there isn't much else bolt on.

    Not really ... Had to cut the doglegs from the body molding down to clear at the front. My lips was already rolled, an inbred hammered in ... It's a DOT so it's no bigger than a 28-10 slick

    we will see . I had planned to go to another race, but my last pass didn't end well ... Broke out in the semi final with a 11.16 on a 11.19 dial and at the stripe, at a minimum blew a head gasket ...

    I changed these same tires over to one of my other sets of wheels with tubes and screws .. We will see what stiffening them does
