Talking Re: old, but plenty of tread left slicks... ???

Glad I could help,lol.

To the helmet brigade that hijacked this nice fellows post, Would you be happy if I had paid $600 for my helmet? of course you would, Hell you would tell everyone how great they are. More money than brains......
Next time you are actually at a race track look around and see how many people are using HJC helmets. Ranked #1 in the world for how many years?. You guy's would love my new bracket car, It even has a 3 point rollbar. My cars have been teched at National events by the same guy's that tech your cars, Never once had an issue. I even set a record once, That's probably more than most of you can say. ROC winner, E.T challenge champion, B.C bracket champion, 6 time track champion 5 of them in the last 6 seasons, You think that happens by luck? I've got more wally's in my basement than you jerkoff's will ever see in a life time. Tell me again how I build unsafe cars. You guy's couldn't buy a win if you put all your money in a bucket, Chad can't even see to the finish line. I take it back, Sliver043 can buy a win...More money than brains.....

I assure you that I have better vision than you do considering how how far your head is up your ***. And i think you are absolutely full of it bragging about all your accomplishments

On the tire thing. My tires have not been made for the last 8 years. All my tires are older than 8 years old. I keep watch on them.
Other than wearing out (going throught to the cords) I haven't had any problems.

**** you Chad.

Your up early Shawn, Yes I'm finally getting ready to put your old 8 3/4 to use, If you show up at the track more often you might actually see me running "PRO" sometime. I'll be the guy wearing the Mission raceway king of the track "PRO" class jacket, of course I wont be using a two step though. I would race "PRO more often but Mission wont let me use the gold card in another class and with Kelly racing I really don't have a lot of time to try to run two classes anyway. Maybe at the National open. Congrats on the new best e.t, Sounds like that little 383 is really starting to work. You might have to get a physical pretty soon if you keep that up.

Please re-read the posts.

Thanks for all the input, and a great PM someone sent me with information about freeze cycles on racing compound rubber and the associated danger. These slicks have a date with my burn pile and I'll be buying new ones.

Keivn
There ya go! Jim

Also, all 3 of the Waldo family Stockers have ran nothing but the old Firestone slicks that have not been produced for many years now. All their cars have been A thru E stick cars, all have multiple National event winners, including Indy twice. At last years NHRA Finals at Pomona, the final round had Eric defeating Gary, both running slicks that were likely 10-15 years old. Just sayin`.

Now we know why they are all retiring from racing. They ran out of 'stones!

Running new old stock is different than old tires that have been heat cycled over and over
