Default Coach & Thunder Racing get another WIN!

Sweeeeet, Another WIN! <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

We ran very well tonight but I do have some issues with the new Hoosier tires. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I will see if I can work out the issues with tire pressure tomorrow.(We are running for a $1,000.00 to win). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

We ran from 8 pounds(walk on itself) to 11 pounds spining it's *** off. I will try some different Hal settings and tire pressures. If you have any ideas let me know. I will be leaving around 8:30 in the morning. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

Did you clean the tires off before running them for the first time? I always rub them down with paint thinner to remove any contaminants from the tread before mounting on the car for the first time

Congratulations on the win. This seems to be a good habit for you. Everybody is jealous because of the 6 spd. Keep up the good work. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
