Frieburger out there talking 50 mph?

 

[fubar569]

Not yet. Took 2hrs to get thru HRDW tech and get numbers. Still have to do track tech for test and tune later. Going to wander over to the trailer and do the wristband thing and see what's up as well as talk to Mickey Thompson because they're already set up

get hooked up. otherwise it's a shitty time.

The replacement from summit arrives to my house tomorrow. Convenient place for it. So I'm out of pocket for this one but really...small price.

Also...then I'll have an emergency spare at home for local use. If I don't mount it this season it'll be one less thing to buy next year.

how often do you replace your drag radials?

If I am shooting for a D&D appearance I'll mount new ones before whichever event it is just because.

Otherwise I usually get 2 seasons on em easily.

Must have a Mickey Thompson rewards card that gets stamped for each set lol

I ran them until the heat cycles caught up and they refused to hook. 🤣🤣🤣

You know. For all the s@#t talking I did on Mickey Thompson this week...

Jason @ the Trackside Trailer they set up probably sold me on them for a super long time.

Despite everything being processed thru summit Racing and the replacement tire being shipped to my house...and being unable to get that new one back to them...

They warrantied out my entire bill. 0 labor. 0 parts. 0 anything. All covered. No questions.

Holy. Balls.

I'm like...you sure. Nothing for labor? Lunch? 50/50 parts?

Nope. He's like..."sorry bout all that. Good luck this week. We got it"

That’s awesome man

So how did this set balance out

 

[fubar569]

So how did this set balance out

They only had a bubble balancer and it took 7.25oz. So more than my good set but less than others.

It did shake at the top end over 120 but not unbearable and not enough to lose control or anything like that. I'll probably spin it when I get home to double check but it'll make it the rest of the week.
