    Damo, was it the whole tread or the insides that were worn? I've got plenty on the outside

    nah.. they caught a look on the inside and saw it was worn... I hadnt even noticed it yet!..
    they got some sharp eyes down there..

    some things they will let slide... but doing skids on worn out tyres is probably something they dont want..

    BANG! + "oh crap"... = expensive noises
    something like this

    I just spoke to the dudes at the drags, they've said they can refund the money if the car doesn't pass scrutineering. He also said so long as it's not showing belt or canvas on the inside, he said it's likely they'll let me drag. W000t!

    One of my rears is shagged, the inside shoulder is gone but the fronts are good and they're the same size, would it be a good idea if I swap them for tonight?

    You coming down with your car to race todd?

    any predictions for Damo? from you or Damo yourself?

    It should be good to see how close some of the 1j's are to eachother... will make for some good racing..

    tsk tsk... what a fool not to check his oil before an event like that..

    Can someone bring a spare 7M block in case...

    I'm not feeling over confident in quick times tonight Stomps..
    probably low 13's again.
    just looking for a new PB, which means 13.38 or better
