Miles I drove off and on for 40 years in every thing from a Supper 7
to a Trans Am car. I always considered the radio more of a problem.

temperature and pressure, and in a no tire change, sprint race, was
driving that bitch as hard as it would go.
What information can anyone provide that would make a difference on
most road courses? Larry Dent
