Good to hear Roger. I saw your stock rims on the other day and thought you probably hit the track. Someday I've got to go see what this radix will do, even if it feels slower with the new wheels.

The wheels look great! Saw you roll by the house with them. Can almost guarantee they slowed you down, that is except when you want to slow down

We gotta hit the track together sometime.

Ah, but thats all it is so far. Just TALK. No need to be jealous.... until this fall when it become reality

Sorry, I'm usually not so cocky but just got done reading most of the "Brian vs. Grippy" thread.

I think I'm going to try and go this Friday. I want to test the new wheels and old wheels and see what the difference is. I only added 24-36 total lbs. but the truck feels a lot slower. How many runs do you usually get in on a Friday?

Usually you can hot lap if you want. I get in 5-10 passes could do more if I wanted. Not very busy at all, compared to other tracks.

I won't be able to go this Friday.

I haven't weighed my tire and wheel combos but I would be they aren't that much different in total weight. With bigger wheel combo's it puts the weight further away from the axle. Even less weight total but further from the axle will accelerate slower at the same power levels.
