nice going skeet, you got me wondering if my slicks are slipping. Are you going to start using tubes?

I believe he said he's going to try wheel screws next that should definitely solve the problem.

congrats man. what changed from last time we were out there? thats a nice improvement!

told you you were probably spinning the tire on the rim...how many passes did it take to move that far? i didnt notice any improvement in my 60' times after studding my wheels, but i did notice that my R/T's dropped some.

yeah ya did, think i ran like 5 or 6 passes.figure it was probably moving 2 to 3 inches each pass, BUT the first few passes i didnt get a good launch, i didnt start hitting a 1.72 60ft until the last 2 passes which i did major burn outs. dunno it may help it may not but i ( we ) both know its spinning on the rim lol

i was hitting a good rt like .033 .024 red lighted once only hit a .633 once


last time stew i was running on 10 volts lol my altenator was going out, it actually let me make it home, i didnt realize how low my volts were until i was idle a few days later at home, but i didnt pay attention to it when i was at the track, but i knew something had to be up cause of the times i was hitting just a few weeks prior to that weekend...
