FYI, you do not want to use chromed wheels for competition as they are typically prone to cracking.


That is only an issue if you are actually putting some stress or cornering force on the wheels. Should not be a problem with Dan's car yet :beerchug:

Oh fine! This, from the guy who was 0.25 seconds behind me on WAY larger, newer tires. Yeah, bring it, Pal! Maybe you should wait until you can actually beat me in timed runs before giving me grief. :oops: :roflmao:


Oh Boy!! That means I can talk all kinds of smack until at least the next AX. :roflmao:

Absolutely. Like placing the BRI trophy on your mantle (a task you're quite familiar with), "smack downs" are fine until you find yourself slower than the dude/dudette you're dueling with. :surr:

You just keep your eyes in the mirrors for those front bumpers that will sooner or later be approaching rapidly from behind you. :cry: On any given day, with the right equipment, the right conditions, and a whole lotta luck, anyone can take home "the prize" :wink: ... even an old water-pumper. :banghead:

:roflmao: Still laughing...... I'm enjoying it while I can. One of these tracks is going to be more 911/HP friendly and then I'll just be one of the slow guys again. The DE should be fun and then we'll see what the Black Pearl can really do. Remember, you have to earn the point by. :beerchug:

Oh, I know how to point. I'm the N/A 944 in the red run group at Auto Club Speedway. :shock: If I can see a GT2 or GT3 coming out of the playground as I'm going into turn 1, I know they'll catch me at turn 3. It's like they have at least 2 to 3 times the horsepower. :banghead:

Yeah...My "right conditions" would be 95% of the drivers having a cold and staying home. :roflmao:

Ah, excellent. We should have no issues at the DE. :shock: :roflmao:

Did I mention ... I might have some tires that actually work? :roll: Now... If I could just learn how to drive ..... :banghead:
