TIRE WRINKLE! (this on little 275/50/15 25.7" DR)

Most of you are big dogs and wont care much. Some of you will b/c you know how I've been through hell and back with this car.

The loose nuts over at Rocksand Racing, and Barry, Kyle, & Rick, did everything they could to keep me from hanging up the helmet for good. Walt & Frank spent alot of time with my car over the last month. My car only runs 11s, but it breaks parts like it runs 9s.

I didn't run it that hard. I was laying down high 1.6 60's but it took it all in stride. I need bigger tires.

Thanks to CamaroAl for the picture.

Nice Wrinkle, the slicks I borrowed from Chef does it too!!



Being a 26" tall slicks to me makes it impressive.

As for breaking parts, unfortunately its due to the Weight, Power, and type of driveline. But dont worry 12 bolts like mine break on a m6 trans as well. Auto is the way to go due to it slipping as you leave the line.

Sweet pics!

The one of us as a foursome waiting would be better without the blue shirt doing the marcarena.

I don't know if you noticed, but, when we lined up BOTH were considerate enough to not fully stage before each was ready.

Tire wrinkle, A new best, Salmon and broccoli spears, No hand prints on the rear bumper, WooHooo!!!
If you stop breaking parts, Frank might have to get a second job.
Congratulations Buddy. You deserve it after what you went through last season.
On another note, the puppies were born last night.
