Ron,
I assume those tires are close to flat-spotted now, huh?

and 45PSI on the F1's up front.The rear tires rolled better than 50%
Have you ever raced your truck at Texas World Speedway near College Station? I think that would be even more fun that a short-track oval like you were on.

Yes everybody did have a nice time there during the picture taking etc.
But.... there was no emergency personnel nor emeregency vehicles at the track, like you know if you roll over hit the wall and you caught fire trapped in your truck you were basically dead meat and/or a crispy critter.

I suppose anything could have happened.

Jerry,
A lot of my buddies race Mustangs, and I didn't realize they allowed trucks at these events... or maybe that's just the PCA event stuff.
How is your tranny holding up? What kind of power does your truck make? I would think the constant up/downshifting would be hard on an auto trans.

I was asked if I wanted to make a pass or two I declined and I have a full roll cage. But on the otherhand if my truck was setup for the roundy round I may have considered it had there been a safety crew there.

Yea i was gonna go around too, but i think either my tires, or my brakes woulda sent me into the wall.
Ron, if you ever do TWS, let me know. Im at school in college station so I'll come watch. I could probably get my dad up there in the s2000 and we would run. We've done it once before there, and it was a blast!
