While going to cottage grove tonight to pick up ARP head studs, I raced a 2g and ended the race around around 130mph. (if you want more race details check the street forum). On the way back after getting the ARP's, I blew out the side wall on my passanger rear wheel. After puting the spare on, we thought we would be fine the rest of the way back, but on 100, we blew out the spare also. Then we went home in Icemans car and grabed a factory wheel and put that on to get back. Thankfully it made it back all the way. About a minute before the first tire went out, Remy and I were thinking about topping out my car on the way back, but 92tsiawd84 said not to (pussied out). While trying to convince him that we should, the fucker blew out. It is wierd how the tire blew out. The bead remained fixed on the wheel while the sidewall ripped to shit (bead glued on?) Thanks to Iceman for helping out by bringing tools that were needed to take the lugs off the aftermarket wheels and 92tsiawd84 (the tire bitch). It was a wierd night. I will try to post up a pic of the blown tire in the morning.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
