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

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!
