I haven’t done any research at all on the meth injection BUT I do know it makes big power on turbo cars.

Yes those are the tiers I got.

What I am hopping for going to the 28" is as follows. The 26" tires spin a little out of the hole but at the same time grabbing enough to just lift the wheels I hope the 28" will stop the spinning completely and lower my 60' a little or at least keep it the same but give me more MPH at the top end so you don’t walk around me!!!

There isn't a thing listed on the LMP site since last October. That article was saying that so few people showed up, they cancelled the races and turned it into a test and tune night. Kinda sad!

*unconfirmed info* Roy Spiker is supposedly leasing it out again, to a family of "hispanic decent". Marco is still the track manager, and we have been working with him to organize some things. we have something in the works now that as soon as it get approved, I will post up that I think will interest everyone
