Ouch!
Speaking of Hoosiers, I bought a new set of sticker Hoosier slicks for
Tiny Tim (R25A compound) and tried them out yesterday. If my experience
was what you have had with those tires, I am sure you are right about
being able to save it. Those things are like running on glue. I felt
like there was no speed that I couldn't dive into a turn at. I ended up
setting the third fastest time at the event, second to only a well
prepared Z05 Corvette and a Formula 500 driven by national champion
Chuck Voborill.
Cheers,
Joe (C)
P.S. How do you straighten those aluminum panels? Do you have an
"English Wheel"?
