Default Something Fell off My E.T.Drag/Wheel Combo, help inside

youknow those string of weights that the tire places place INSIDE the wheels to help balance the wheels? Well those weights fell off one of my Wheels. the other one still has it on but this one does not. What should I do? Can i just race without that weight or should I go get some weights put back on? FYI--i think the string of weights was about 5 of them.

TIA!!!

Just take it to a local tire shop to have it rebalanced. The weights are there to balance the wheel/tire once mounted.

ET drags shouldn't be balanced in the first place. Running a tire at low psi will pretty much always be out of balance. It will not hurt anything......

Use duct tape to keep those tape weights from flying off!! That is the only way I know of keeping them on!! Good luck..
