l dont know much about these track racing things but l have heard when people take their cars to track and make some hard runs and then they pull engine and tranny down and clean or something..is that correct? did you need to do that too? if it is true, then l wouldn't wanna have 10 seconds car

I am planning on taking some of my old tires and seeing if I can hold a 4th gear burnout. Soon.

First, I love your little jokes that you put up on your screen. Where do you get them. Second, no, you do not have to tear down the engine and trans. down when you race at the track. That is only the pro's. Funny cars, dragsters, pro-stock. People that you see on ESPN or Speed channel. You can take your car to the track and race, it does the same damage to your car that racing on the street does. It's better to race at the track anyway. You don't have to worry about cops, hitting an inocent driver in another car, plus you get to see how fast your car really is with the time slip. And if something does happen, they usually have an ambulance there, sometimes.

But I can't smoke them off quite yet. Passenger side lugnuts were cross-threaded. Thank god I didn't hook at the track.

[giddyup50]

How the hell did you get them cross-threaded?? You should know better than that!

[giddyup50]

So can you get it off, or do you have to have it broken off? Will you have to get a new lug also? I guess if they break the nut you'll have to.

[Mr. Luos]

I needed stronger ones eventually anyways.
They aren't that expensive.

Gonna need new lugs though. One broke off and I can feel another one is ready to go.
