Any updates?

Are they the bias ply et street R?

Excited for your results... MPH says the car is making power.

Wouldn’t want to run a bias ply with his street tires up front. They will fight each other.

Yep. Friend of mine races his 2400hp f-body at GLD. Long story short, he ended up in the wall this year after suddenly breaking traction in the left rear. Turns out he went over a pothole that they attempted to fill with a few bricks. Let's just say he was not happy with the owner of the track. Owner's excuse was "but but but it'll cost $250k to resurface!"

He said pothole. He's got some kind of suspension monitoring system (above my pay grade) that showed his left rear shock go nuts all of the sudden. That's what spurred him to walk the track and look.

Very unfortunate, and not good practice for a race track. Unsafe.

Wow I was there for the last day before they closed and there was about 3 bad wrecks that caused them to stay open a extra hour because of the long line and it was all on one side my family owns a asphalt business so I have a good eye one it comes to stuff like that should've been fixed 2 years ago.

Seems pretty good I'm having my pivot ball and throw out bearing while replacing that he noticed the spline was pretty stiff and hard to turn by hand so he's shiming it down a bit.
