I'm not going back until I get some tires. I was pretty upset Friday when I was turning out some high 12 and 13. Couldn't get the car to hook in 1st or 2nd.

Coach your cars were looking good about 3 weeks ago when I was there....I went to watch Brian (with Houston Truck Parts...long time family friends) ....didnt expect to see anything late model there.......anyway I talked to someone at the consession stand (one of your family members from the way he was talking) that said that the black car had just changed convertors and needed a tune still......i heard it hit the limiter a couple of times but it was still hauling ***....How did it everything turn out for you guys tonight?

Yes that is a pic of my Brother's car.

Recap, blew the tires off 2nd round of N/E. Came right back to the 3rd round of Pro & blew the tires off in the other lane also. It was 97 in the shade on my weather station. It really SUCKED because I had a chance to put the championship out of reach with 1 race to go.
