Some tires are pretty smooth when they spin. Try a nice power braker! Or bring it out to Road America, just two weeks to go!

tried a break stand, seems like the rear breaks hold too tight. can't really break loose and spin them. tach jumps up to 5.5 ~ 6k though.
don't think its a trani slipping do ya? tacks of pretty quick.
