Not sure on that yet. Im going to try and smoke the hell out of the tires and get em nice and sticky next time. Also I think keeping the PSI down a little more than before will help out too. I was running around 22psi now Im gonna try 17 to 18.

So that is why you were poppin Sunday!?

From the last thread - "Okie76Vette has a place in Goldsby he wants us to try. Live Music on Wednesday Nites. I think it is called Libby's!"

I agee, they have good live music that starts at 8-8:30. A bit further for the guys on the north end, but a good place to try. South Main exit, after SE 44th, not far after the exit, on the left. If not this week, it's a place to keep in mind for another time. Just not on a rainy day, as the parking lot is gravel.

OH - and thanks for the offer Leprkon - I'll get with you when I'm ready to finish the soundproofing!

I called around this morning to price them out for my car. Sam's Club has the best price-$139 for a red top. Next closest was $169.

A friend with a car-port let me borrow a space in it, so the vette didn't have to sit through it this time...as always the Taurus gets to take the hit.

I guess I will go to Sams then, there is a vendor selling them for a good price in the for sale section but by the time you put freight on them it is more than the sams price plus you have to wait for them. thanks 66V
