Default Been to Bandimere twice in 3 days
5 of 6 runs were 12.1x's.
The one run that wasn't was a 12.4...missed 4th gear.
DA was 7700 both nights.






Cleaned up to go to Bandimere yesterday afternoon...



For those running MT radials, what pressure do you run? Looking for those running a 26" tire on a 15" wheel.
I also learned that the launch screws with the mini-DV video camera. I had the cruisecam in, but each time the vibration of the launch made the footage clip.

I've been screwing around and 26 one one and 25 in the other seems to be the ticket for tracking straight out of the hole. Though I won't be doing any more this season, I wounded my Ujoint and can't afford to repair it right now. First on the list is a new transfer case for my other truck.

On the radials...you shouldn't get sidewall flex if I am not mistaken.
Is that correct??

Lower than 15PSI??

It looks like the tires hook...I am thinking it might be in the suspension somewhere.
I know the rear shocks are dead, that could be it.
