Sorry guys I meant ER next month on the 26th. I'm bailing on it too. I'm doing this NTAXS then the street tire challenge and BMW on the 18th for June.

LOL the fight to the death continues BATTLE ROYALE!!!

Ialmost had to show up on my 500 treadware DD tires due to a busted lug key. Luckily Reggie had a set of McGard lugs and a key. I'm going to pick them up tomorrow after work and then drive forever to try and break the kooks in.

Chris and I should have a good battle on Saturday. I will be running the all seasons. 500 Treadwear BABY!!! YEAHH!!!! LOL!!!
I wonder what I'll have to run pressure wise to keep the sidewalls from rolling over. I was interested to see how these perform on a autox course anyways since they are the "best performance all seasons available". We shall see. They may end up being better than those busted Advans I had last event, and maybe being 265 I may get some extra grip.

I got home a realized the lugs and key I got from Reggie was still not the right one. Oh well. I'll put them up for sale later. Hopefully the lug key from wheeldude will be here by the NSTC event. I ordered two lug keys to be on the safe side.

Sweet dude you can be in the [imaginary] 2S class with me!

I ran 42psi at the last two events and my tires have very soft sidewalls.

Thanks Kevin, it's all good. I already have 2 new keys on order. I'll just run on the all seasons. I came up yesterday and Josh and I went through all the spline keys you had and none fit. We talked about having my key welded or stripping these off but honestly it's not that big of a deal and cheaper to wait on the 2 keys that to muder these and buy a whole new set. It should be fun drifting through the course anyways lol.

Man, it is a real shame with all of the Evo horsepower we have in the DFW, we can only manage 5 members of NTEC at these events... With the cost of MW, we could certainly get an NTEC club day if we had near 15-20 one day...

I'll see you all there. Lets try to line up next to each other in the parking lot. So if you get there before me, save me a space.
