Yes , menace manged to beat me somehow by 1 whole second... well his $50 race tires overrided my $20 walmart tires

my tires kept FOLDING OVER on themselves and i would SLIDE IN A STRAIGHT LINE even though my wheels were fully turned!!

You can see wear ON THE SIDEWALLS of hte tires, that's how bad they are.

Guess it's time to get some Falken's and shave off 3-4 seconds

Heh...you finally got some new wheels and numbers. When are you gonna update your sig? Cool shot of the cone in the grill...that's classic, lol.

It's also cool that the cruiser was out there to run. I'm always hoping to see something strange like that some time or another. I've got video of an event somewhere where a firetruck, ambulance, and cop cruiser all ran (dunno where the event was held).

Anyway, congrats on taking 1st!

Congrats dude! nice job!

Andre, your tires are rolling over for 3 reasons (ok 4, they are walmart cheapies) 1. not enough air pressure 2. too high/weak a sidewall 3. YOUR GOING TOO FAST

As i've been told before, slow is smooth, and smooth is fast
