Nice front wheels.



Found a pretty good deal on some 15" wheels for the back so I can get some M/T ET Fronts mounted. I think I have some idea what yours cost... you're right. Don't wanna know! Still wanna yank one off the back and weigh it quick so I know what to expect for a difference. I know the AR-24's are a good light wheel, but the tire I have on it has got to be a tank.

Ever played around with figuring out what kind of difference rotational weight makes on these cars? I've worked on static weight and found it to be 1 lb = .003. I remember Rusty forgot and left his spare wheels in the trunk once, and was about .35 slow!

Here's Rusty's, from the 1998 Dutch Classic...


The car's come a long way since this....

First night we ever raced the car, I ran a best of a 20.45. I won that night. LMAO!


It's a magnet for A and B cars!
