When I opened the door to the trailer Sunday morning and seen the flat slick, I just wanted to cry. Not again. Last year it happened on Saturday and BGR was nice enough to bring me out a set of slicks for Sunday while Wild Bill and his crew hooked me up with lug nuts to fit the wheels. This year I was just so disgusted I figured I would pop-a-top a bit early. I had a cold one in my hand ready to pull the tap when 572charger stuck his head around the corner and told me to put my car number on his and run it. How cool is that. Although I have run the Charger before I'm still getting the feel for the car and even though my driving sucked (like always) I did win a few rounds. Thanks Jim.
As for the flat slick....it was a rock AGAIN. I wanted to yell at someone but who. That's just the Vinnie luck. Guess I'll have to buy a mat and keep it in the trailer. Oh, and an extra set of slicks wouldn't hurt.

Maybe you should ask Goodyear If they can make you a run flat slick

Went there two years ago and saw Prochamp get a flat tire just driving to the lanes for first round.

I suggested that they have a couple of kids sweep the gravel off the entry road to the staging lanes while the cars were moving in and out.

The whole place is build on shale rock, sharp as arrowheads.
