I have missed the last 2 races as I have been sorting through so electrical issues with my car. Finally confident I have it all in good working order I got everything loaded this afternoon so I can head out to Piedmont dragway tomorrow am. I love racing there, but have missed most of the races they have had for 2 years now. So sitting on my deck while waiting for the NASCAR race to start thinking about finally getting back to the track when I hear this loud hissing noise. Sounds like a major tire leak so I walk over the the car trailer to check it out. Sure enough a valve stem is cut. After a closer look it had dry rotted. I checked the rest & they too where dry & bad looking. Too late to get all 4 fixed tonite plus I live kinda in the boonies. So I will have to wait to get back out. Guess I will have metal stems installed.
