Default Trutrack.

You guys may think that I may work for Detroit or something by the way I swear on the Trutrack but I have a story to tell that is interesting. I was doing a little street racing this weekend and I had my Hoosier DOT Pros on and we were on a very narrow country road. I was having a hard time doing a burn out due to not having any water. Well when I came off on the clutch and tapped the brake to keep me from moving the rear jumped out to the left and the left rear went off the pavement onto the grass. I stopped the first time this happened and started again. Well the next time it did it I stayed in it and spun it until it jumped back on the pavement when I let off of the brake. Well to get to my point, when I was doing the burn out with one tire in the mud and the other on the pavement It continued to smoke the right tire and the axle stayed locked like a locker would do. What do you think I would be doing this weekend if I had a clutched posi and this happened? I'd be putting a set of clutches in it because I would have burnt it up.

Hard to beat a Detroit in any case. What are the tru-tracs running? I looked at them a while back but can't remember.
