Barber has been freaking packed this last 2 years so I'm guessing they won't move it anytime soon. That, and VIR is further for the Left coast folks and less accessible for the fly-over states. That's just my .02.
Nope, waiting on a call back about the right size. Worst case I'll pay the 2200 or whatever and get two in a different size.
Ha! Not sure what happened, was about 75% flat when I got to the credentials building and killed it all the way getting into the paddock to park.
Yep. Could have had it done Friday going that route but $870 for the one seemed a better option then. As I sit here now not so much
Yeah, i was wondering about that front tire when i walked past your mobile McMansion. We had a little bit of a tire/wheel issue on the drive home. I had a set of wheels put on the truck a few weeks ago and apparently the slappys at Discount Tire cross threaded my left rear and didn't torque them properly as a result. We got to about an hour south of Louisville when a nasty vibration caused us to pull over to find the left rear damn near fell off. One lug nut holding a wheel on is not good. Needless to say, I will have to start double checking every mechanic's work from here on. Shouldn't have to though, such a shame.
Well, one thing with aftermarket wheels especially is you have to retorque them after a 100 or so miles. That is absolutely scary, glad it stayed on!
Can you please spread out the SE schedule a bit from this last year? Having 4 races in one month is hard on the wallet. Also I might be in the minority but I would love the NOLA race to be a single header.
