MAN! That thing is huge!!! Glad the slick is the only damage. Good luck with the 9 sec time slip!!!

I would go with the battery hold down stud as I believe Norwalk is all concrete walls now isn't it???
Harlow won't want to sell just one tire as the rollout will be different then the one on your car even though there is only a few passes on them.
You will probably be fighting a car that wants to launch crocked if you replace just one tire.
You can probably patch the tire with no problems if you run tubes in them.

I have a tire with 8 passes and the tire got rubbed by the 1/4 and Harlow told me it would not launch right. I believe it would launch crocked so I am still using the same tire as they decided it was still good enough to run without any issues.

Good Luck Bob and keep on trying for that 9.

Wow, sorry to hear this Bob! That's some kinda luck to have that happen to a brand new pair of slicks. Keep at it man, it'll be worth it when you get that 9 sec slip. I know you've been 9s before, but getting a new car w/ a different combo to another milestone is still a good feeling.
I'd get a good tire shop to look at the tire, I bet it can be patched. You could always run tubes if you don't already. CHIP

Bob,
Welcome to the "if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all" CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least you are getting seat time some of us can't even get the motor in the car!!!!
Keep your chin up I would like a PURPLE CAR SHOOT OUT next year at either Thompson or Norwalk...

Good luck

So you went to Norwalk this past weekend and stayed home last weekend when it was the BIG Mopar meet whats up with that

Sorry to hear this. And you were VERY luck you aborted that run or that beauty of yours could of been destroyed. I agree with the street/race car and I must say I have WAY more fun driving my car all over than racing it and when you drive em on the street you can usually work out the tuning issues and bugs so your track experience is more fun. Hang in there you DEFINATELY have a nine sec pass coming.

Chryco and RTstreet, it's a never ending barrel of fun isn't it?

His and Her 69's, I hadn't thought about that, I will definitely be done for the year if the new slick doesn't match the older one. I don't like tubes and by the time I buy 2 of them and pay for dismounts, mounts, and balance I'll have another $150 wrapped up in my 'new' slicks. I am really crushed over that slick, if it wasn't for that I'd fix the cable and get back at it soon.

Russ, my son had a big football game the weekend of the classic, which he fractured his knee cap in , plus it would have been a $300 weekend with hotel money and everything, only spent $120 for the test and tune, they were so busy I only got 3 shots at making a pass, and I killed a slick. Guess I didn't save any money , but I was there for my son.

Thumper I agree, alot of stuff gets sorted out while street cruising, and it's definitely more fun that way!
