Crucial . . . .

Camber issues + worn tires + lengthy sessions of servin it= no bueno

My tires were on their last leg ( plus i have a new set of wheels and tires on the way) so in a spur of the moment choice i sent them out in a a cloud of glory . . .


My camera died right in the begining of the session( forgot more batteries, DOH ) so its a lil blip.

Oh, why not just go for 2,000 HP, Apollo?

Seriously though, were you auto-crossing in that pic.? How could you not notice the uneven tire wear beforehand?

EDIT: Now that I've looked at it again, those tires were shot to begin with, and they don't look anything like regulation slicks.

Thanks guys. It was a impluse session at a local naval/air base. You have all seen myth busters? You know, the show that lww hosts? I was at their stomping grounds. Its perfect. So since new tires/wheels are on the way I figured what the hell, why not have some fun? But my camera died before it got really good. I was goin at it for about 10 minutes, got some pretty good figure 8's and lots of goin slideways. I went from just above a quarter tank to less than 1/8 real quick. Tons o fun
