Seems like maybe a calliper stuck then when I settled into the brakes again it locked, smoked the tire and blew a front runner. While I was sliding backwards I smashed the gas to try and kill momentum and it saved me . Time 4 a parachute.. safety first.... thank God you didn't hit the car next to you.

I'm going back to my MT sportsman tires, with a little tread I don't think I would have had any problems. Worst case scenario some flat spots. We're very happy with how it's running considering we're being a little conservative on the 8.75 rear and I could still spray more

I would also invest if it isn't there in an Anti roll bar also.. Good race now put her on a diet Last edited by fishy340; 05/07/17 12:31 PM.

In all honesty, with what you have up front and in reserve, you might be better off with a little weight to keep her from getting drunk anywhere on the stretch. Happy cars I tend to think should carry some pork and beans.

I always get onto the brakes slow and steady. I can't run an ARB for class rules but weight will be coming off soon. Kirkeys and glass bumpers to come. It's currently 51% on the nose

Can't say I would have my head straight enough to think about stabbing the go pedal while traveling backwards. Wish I was there to see that in real life. Nice driving AND pass.
