After picking up tires and wheels in LA, we drove through Death Valley last
night (all night) and made it to Ely in time for tech this morning.
I ended up with Falken 235 35 17 in front (23.8") and Falken 255 40 19 in
back (27.2") on 9" wheels.
These are of course too skinny for a Group IV car from an appearance
perspective but for this straight line course they should be fine. Less wind
resistance than my 345's and a significant reduction in rpm.
MD helped me pass tech and I'll be headed to the start line in about six
hours!
I got bumped from the 160 mph bracket to the 150 mph due to a four year old
five point harness, so I'll be in the same bracket as The Dawg (actually I'm
gridded directly after MD!) The Beast feels ready to run, so I'm confident
I'll be a couple mil richer by 8:30 AM!
