Drag Racing Tech - How to fix a slick with a hole?

Went of to race for the weekend and found my car with a flat tire the next morning :bang:

Turns out the ET street has a small hole from who knows what.

Are these tires repairable? If so how? Patch on the insde? Goop?

you replace it. dont patch a slick. its not a good idea at all if you like safety

Got a screw in mine a few weeks ago. Had to throw the pair out. Damn good set of tires too:(

I would throw it away, it's not worth losing a car or a LIFE over.

10-4

I figured as much because of the compound, to soft.

Tires are pretty much gone anyways.

thanks all

patch it and go do a huge burnout...that way at least it might get some use.....

Great idea. Add in a few nice figure 8s and don't forget the camera :headbang:

Am I stupid??? I would put a tube in it... Actually I did put a tube in mine.

not stupid... just crazy :jest:

Actually the writting on the tire states to use a tube. I don't have any in them though.

My understanding was that most people do run tubes. From what I have heard it keeps the tire from spinning on the wheel also.

time for some real tires Frank...

1.5x's :D

1.5x's :D

ET Drags are in the plan, but I don't know if I want to step up the gear and tire combo. I think I'm going to have to wait until I finish sorting out the chassis and suspension. I've already hit a 1.59, so it's there.

Damn, one more track day is all I wanted out of them!! :bang: :bang:

I was hoping to break into the 11's here in albuquerque :bang: :bang:
