yeah, I remember you pointing that out when we were looking at Joe's tires.
And those tires were showing that they didn't like SOMETHING that was
happening to them!
Joe really got it together this year-- he was flat HONKIN'! His record is
going to be hard to reach.
For tire aero-- need an ogive tire cross-section, like Rose's nose? Would
probably groove-up the course, obviously. The fenders are a better
solution.
Still got the car at Bastrop, or have you moved her out to Nevada?

p.s.: I've heard that Pahrump has nothing but whorehouses and Mayf's place.
What's up with that?

Russ,
Yeah, they might but......lakester has fenders on it now (still getting
them) so you couldn't see the tires anyway........
Could have been a show stopper though....let's see.....top of tire was
running 540 MPH at the "5"....wonder how that affects things......maybe an
aerodynamic tread/tire shape is in order...Joe Law's tires were at
700...remember?
