I didn't hear about Chis losing a tire (Flat Tire)????

My rear tire was flat when I got home, that was icing on the cake.

Since I had a trailer tire blow out on the way home also.

Yup on Chris' last pass he had trouble keeping it straight and found it was due to 2 lbs of pressure in the tire.

Congrats Mike!

I posted some photos from the event at: http://s454.photobucket.com/albums/q...albumview=grid

Chris... I was about to jump the wall and stop you when I saw this, but thought maybe you wanted to run such low pressure... (I also thought they would not appreciate me jumping the wall and should be looking at your tires before you launch)

WOW Great shot.... I must have ran over something from the stagging lanes to the line because I checked the press and by the time I got to the turn off only 2lbs.... I took the tire off when I got home and there is a BIG hole on the surface.... Blows your hair back..... Thank GOD I didnt wreck it when I let off at the traps I couldnt control it....
