So why be negative about it... Wasn't tacky.... Just a note that there were
some tires for sale...
All by interpretation.... And stating that people at the salt were putting
down "big speeds" with old
tires from the 60's... Nolan, teague and im sure the list will go on and at
one time or another others
also running the tires of old,,, Nothing wrong with them if they are cared
for... If there were an issue
im sure the SCTA would put an end to using them right??? I understand that
300 mph is a big speed to you,
then what do you call a 400 mph run?? Big, Big, Speed??? Sorry if I left an
extra big out...

I believe that the Burklands are running new tires. So who else is
there? What's a "big speed" anyway? Tacky Jon. Over 300 is big to me.
And it is apparently "big" to the tire industry too if you look at
recommended speeds and all the tires that are available for 300+.
