Mine can go a season without adjusting the band. Aluminum drum with a red hard band. Aprox 100 passes.

They were racing at Thunder Valley Dragway in Marion, SD over Memorial Weekend. 3 days of racing. There was a open test and Tune Saturday morning, then the Saturday night race. Each of them got 2 time trials, then competition. She won the No box class , and he went to the 3rd round. Sunday has a day race, and a night race. 2 time trials for each of them there. He went to the semi finals in the morning race, and she lost second or 3rd round. I think they both lost second round in their night race. Monday, they got 3 time trials each, and then went a couple rounds each there. If that makes any sense? I'm not a huge fan of the track, but you definitely run the wheels off the car if you want to, and there are a TON of Mopars at the track.
