BTW, are you running a 10" or 12" rear wheel with that 315 drag radial? Somebody (cough..Tony...cough) didn't mention it in the article.

Holy crap, someone that reads the articles? I thought gearheads just looked at the pretty photos

Thomas didn't tell me the wheel sizes, lol.

Just depends....if I'm watching TV then I just look at the pics, if I'm in the bathroom doing some serious work, then the articles come in handy. LOL.

I have the same camera. It takes awesome pics even with the regular lens.

Congrats Tom!

Congrats Tom, you deserve a cover after all the time and effort you have put into promoting LSx racing.

Again nice pics by Tony, he has a real eye for what the racers like.
