We were driving right behind that guy is wheel was slowly working its way off, the guy kept looking out his window.
Soon as we were getting next to him to tell him the lug nuts flew off and he drove over his wheel. The timing for the guy could not have been worst. As a line of firebirds just kept streaming by. Pretty funny

I know others who would come up if they did. The older cars don't have a chance unless we have the whole car painted or do something really custom. It was fun seeing the other cars.

You are right --they should split that class---My car has 76,000 and I have use flaws that the garage queens do not.

No problems at all. I am running Sumitomos - they are true 315s - there are others that run much wider than the 315 size and cause some clearance problems (ie Goodyear GSD3s and BFG KDs) but you can get around that without too many issues. I am also lowered.

the best part is i know the guy, and all he does is talk **** about how fbodies blow and are junk. then he goes out and has his car own him at the worst possible moment.

Fixed. There is the lame little pulldown box for SFW and NSFW. Didn't pay attention.

That was too funny, right after I mentioned I break one at every show. I think his pride was hurt more than anything.

Maybe next year they'll put us closer to the action. We had a crappy location.
