Aloha. If you just want to make a couple of runs one night, you can borrow my BFGoodrich drag radials. I am right around the corner from Campbell. Welcome to the forum, what color is your vette?

I thought we were doing the big trip for the 50th.
There was a guy from Hawaii WITH HIS MIDYEAR .
He shipped his car to LA and drove it to Bowling Green for the celebrations.

AHHH, didn't I let you borrow my drag radials one time at the track? It was quite a few months ago, it could have been your first time out? I think I saw you out their the other night also making passes and yes you need better traction.
