Yes
Seems that only applies when the 48 would gain from it going by history.
Yikes that previewed different.
Leaving it till I get it fixed, then I’ll hit ABUSE on it.
Check out some Bridgestone Dueler ATs...not the revII version. They are good on, and off road, and they outlast their specs...they are a 50,000 mile tire and I got 65,000 on the first set; I’ve got 100,500 now, and expect 30,000 more miles. I rotate at 5,000.
Mrs p6 blames Gordo losing on his crew. Said his team has his car geared for top speed not acceleration. They don’t think he can handle a drag race.
Hehehe...
Thanks! The Wranglers are sorta ok...but not what we like on the Durango. And they NEVER get decent mileage.
Boy You’re just a poking that Bull(ette) with that stick a bit Today;)
Just checked on those Bridgestones...they look great!
But they are Goodyears and You saw Today how “good” they are;)
She has gone to the kitchen and I am not allowed in...
Kyle Busch, the stud.</sarc>
Go ahead, and bleach yer whites...how funny; I did that a couple hours ago.
Texas surprise....cooked up....smoked brisket with a brown sugar based sauce....
I noticed earlier, that the truck you want to kill is a Jeep....I call my Jeep a truck, also. What kind do ya have, and what part are ya waiting for?
Interesting race to watch but tires shouldn’t shouldn’t determine who wins. Did they have any tire problems yesterday?
The Cup boyz don't listen to Goodyear tire specs
I drive a 2007 Jeep JK. It’s EPA sticker said 16mpg city, and 19 hwy....I get 22 city and 19 hwy. It’s a 6 speed manual and that last gear is tall. Only 2,000rpm @75 mph throw in a hill or a headwind the mpg drops.
The Bridgestone is a good tire.
HeHe
Well for Texas Race dinner here yes TEXAS Brisket, Tater salad, Coleslaw, All the Fixin’s (raw onion/dill pickles/Japala-anoes) and Pecan Pie (Nobody but Me likes ‘naner puddin’) is the menu.
Different Suprise for Texas.
It’s a ‘07 Trailblazer. It needs a TPS but that only comes with the Throttle Body Assy.
Dinner time, be back later....
Cassell started the run in the starting box...the new rule is once the leader starts the run, all bets are off. The only thing you cannot do is change lanes before the start/finish line
If the leader gets a crappy start, too bad, so sad. :-(
Thanks for clearing that up.
NASCAR considering reducing horsepower to Cup cars next season: NASCAR is planning on making significant engine package changes in 2015 to extend the life of Sprint Cup powerplants and reduce horsepower. And along with engine changes, there likely will be aerodynamic and tire changes for the Cup cars in 2015 as well. That's the word from NASCAR Vice President of Competition and Racing Development Robin Pemberton. Pemberton said the sanctioning body has had four meetings so far with representatives from Chevy, Ford and Toyota and race teams about how to implement those changes. No consensus has been reached yet, according to Pemberton, but discussions are ongoing in advance of making the changes for next year. Although Pemberton declined to specify how many horsepower NASCAR is looking to cut, sources familiar with the discussions said the reduction would be in the neighborhood of 75 to 100 horsepower. Currently, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series engines make about 860-900 horsepower at most tracks. Discussions are still in the early stages, Pemberton said, but given the fact that there are so few engine suppliers now, they will need plenty of lead-time to make changes for next year.
Among the options being discussed are reduction in engine displacement and changes to throttle body size. Sources familiar with the discussions say that Chevy and Toyota are pushing for a reduction to 5.0-liter engines, while the Ford camp is pushing for the use of tapered spacers, such as are used in the NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series engines. Pemberton said any change in the engine package likely would necessitate other changes as well.
"It's not fully appreciated the fact that we've had the same engine for basically 25 or 30 years and it's at 850 or 860 horsepower, where it used to be 500," Pemberton said. "And we are at the same race tracks where we used to run 160 (miles per hour) we're now qualifying at 190 and running 213 going into the corners. There's been a lot of engineering and gains made across the board. Goodyear ... we have the same tire patch as when we started.(FoxSports)(3-23-2014)
All kudos are for ma...he sent me the pic. The race was drawing nigh, I hit the first post reply I saw, and posted the img....then promptly sent it to mabarker1.
Funnier than heck, anyhow!
I think Pemberton needs wings for his panty liner.
