At this point all that matters is the beer you owe me.

Don't they have to run and drive before you need to worry about tires and stuff??


I think there's a 6 year date code on tires or they become non DOT legal. Tires on this thing must be way older than that!

The tires Ron just picked up from me are pretty well travelled. I don't think they're six years old, but he might want to check. They ran a One Lap, made a few trips back and forth between SoCal and NorCal, then I bought them, Rupp might have borrowed them, and Gregg might have used them as well. Now they're in Ron's garage and will probably end up in the hands of some member of the Rontourage.

Wheels Schmeels. Just mount the tires and drive! When does the new fender/tire debut at the track? :headspin:

Wheels might be done by the end of next week. I hope. I'd like to get the car tested before paint so it might debut in a really ugly form in two weeks. Picture grey primered front end.

I think Tom already did that with my old 335 Nitto NT05s.

:trophy-1302: Won the "Super Sunday" at the last Del Mar Goodguys with those very 335s on 10 inch rims and 295s on 9 inch rims up front. Sure the car was a little "Wiggly" but who cares when you are "Ballin" as the kids say on 335s? I believe it was Billy Crystal as "Fernando" on Saturday night live who said it best: "It is more inportant to look good than to feel good"...

I cant believe ive resorted to quoting stuff from the 80's when Matt was still in the womb...
