Driving to track w/ DR's or ET streets?
How much damage is done to the rear quarters when you drive to the track w/ DR's or ET streets.
My drive is 35 miles one way to the track.

I have been doing it with no issues! Keep in mind that the tires are good for around 5000rpm! :cheers:

What do you mean - damage?
I've driven to the track 45 miles each way on DRs, dozens of times. Not sure about ET streets.

I'm pretty sure you mean rocks being thrown by the sticky tires. I've been okay so far, but will usually put some blue painters tape on the rear fenders to protect the paint. :yesnod:

I mean rocks ripping up the rear quarters from everything sticking to the tires, painters tape is the answer I forgot about that..
Thanx :cheers:

I have DFG's on all the time for about 2,500 miles. No Problems for me so far and been to the track 3 times. I avoid any major rocks or gravel if possible, but besides that I just drive normally.

I did not see any damage when I was doing it but then again, they were not show room quality quarters when I bought the car with 35K on it.
