Default Rolled A Tire Off The Rim

Another great day of getting out of the house and doing track days with the car... Except for the damn spin that took the left rear tire off the rim... LOL Thankfully Willow Springs has a tire shop at the track... PS: Anybody want to buy a really F'd up rear wheel ?

200 Euro$ not bad deal; that's about $100. U.S. per wheel.
The way your dollar is going, hold on to those Euros and soon you may have your $1000-1,200.

Dan: I think I'm going to start calling you the Crossfire Carpet-bagger... Keep collecting parts, I'll need them eventually...

Bullseye, I am also one-quarter Cherokee.

Jeff, the correct pronunciation is "y'all".

Geez, Bullseye,
All that space in your post, I was waiting for a picture to come up. That's not funny, I have dial-up and I could be waiting here forever for that!!!
I am 100% German, but our kids are 1/16th Black Foot Indian . Not exactly sure where that came in, though.

Tell us all about your racing career!!!!!! We're all dying to hear all about it. Please tell us how to set the correct tire pressure and how many hours you have logged to get ALL THAT KNOWLEDGE. PLEASE WE"RE JUST DYING TO HEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, that granny you drive like on the street must be from Pasadena, since you say you got a ticket doing a 110 on Mulholland. Just wondered if that helps your stellar racing career. I wonder how the SCCA feels about its members street racing. Maybe I'll ask them?

Back to the subject.

What tire pressure were you running when you rolled one off the rim?

I think that's a bit of safety related information you should share with other Crossfire owners.

Funny quote, I hope you weren't referring to the air in the tires, nor my experience driving sports cars semi-pro... I was running 29 front 25 rear, but had been beating-up the rumble strips all day. So don't worry about liabilty... And they weren't OEM tires, I killed those in the first day...
