What perfect timing though. Racing past a cop. Racing past a cop and one car has a blowout. Hmmm did the vette stop? Things we have to decide on in life.

Like an idiot I made a thread about this, and then saw this one, so I pulled an Evan and deleted the thread.

He got all the parts and it will be up in no time. Car moves out good and probably faster now than our last encounter. One of the cleanest TA I've seen.

What kind of tire was it? An actual good MT radial or a **** VW tire that people love throwing on these cars?

Just curious..that blows.

Whats up everyone!!!

Well, here is what went down as best as i remember...

As i started pulling on the vette, i felt like i was riding on sponge and knew i was in trouble. I Killed the switches to N20 and my newly installed stand alone unit, which was the first time i ever used it... so yes RAMAIRTRANSAM, Now I'm on Spray!

Anyway, as i tried to slow down **** started going everywhere, and I had no choice but to brace myself, and keep my car as straight as possible, which you guys can see, i did a pretty good job at keeping it from getting worse.

The tires are Federals and still dont understand why it blew this way, as i didn't run over anything. The only thing i can think of, is the tire was damaged or maybe dried by the sun. Either way, this will not keep me from using skinnies as i don't believe that was the problem.

Parts are already lined up with a buddy in Houston, and if you guys think this lil incident scares me... Ya'll might of forgotten what this ride and i have been through, http://gear-trends.com/from-the-ashes/

Until next time, stay tuned for more FENIX FAST!!!

First time it has ever been sprayed with a nitrous bottle in the trunk of the pics that happened years ago. Super cool story brah.

The tires are Federals
What the **** is a Federal?

You want to run a real tire? Run these: http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...SportsmanFront or these http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...em=SportsmanSR

Don't cheap out on something that could end your life in a split second. You're lucky the car stayed straight and you didn't hit anyone.
