Bill... just because there is meat on the tire does not mean the sidewalls are not shot. You are going to eat those up before you run out of good rubber. I have mostly seen it start at the 330 and then show up at 60. Ask Keith, he fought the same thing and finally put new tires on.

Oh and to answer your other question, it was too damn hot to go racing. Clint had the right idea!!

Jeff, from the flyer it looks like there will be a Gamblers race and a Stock/Super Stock combo race on Friday and Saturday. It's $35.00 to enter.

The test and tune and gamblers race on Friday of the Pro Am weekend are open to the Pro Am racers only. There is only Pro Am racing that weekend.

Chuck - Can you move the Pro-Am to this coming weekend, my engine is coming out tonight and I could use an extra week. haha Not sure I can turn it around in a week and don't want to race the daily driver unless I have to!

I understand exactly where your coming from Bill. You can't win races without traction. I did buy new tires and made some suspension adjustment which seems to be working for me so far.

Congrats to Lou, again! I would have loved to have been there but my racing is on hold until after the baby gets here. Mama wants me close to home in case she goes early. Bill, I think you should sell me that flying bird.

Good luck with the baby stuff...Will say a few prayers for a healthy baby and mamma.

Thanks again...had a blast. Hey Prest I think we should trade cars...I think that GTO has a love affair with PGH!

Good job to Mark Romeo that night also..... I thought for sure after the WBF win he was gonna knock me out and win both classes.....damn he was close!! Had a blast Saturday night thanks to all the guys for the congrats.

Nick every time that green Mopar pops up on my screen my skin crawls....I hate that damn thing LOL

Thanks Ron, the same goes to you. We always seem to have good races.

Prest I hope the tires work for you too. I would like to see you stay at PRP.

Mark Romeo

Thanks for the congrats guys, although Mikey, Lou, and Pinskey were the big winners on Saturday and deserve the spotlight!! Awesome job guys!!! Would have loved to have won both, wasn't meant to be as Lou cleaned me up good in Top and I made a good old mental mistake in the Mod semi...oh well. Nice job again guys!!

Prest I would like to see you stick around as well. I feel that things will come around, we have had some intense heat and track temp to deal with lately as well.
