Thanks 67MX, I use Discount tire all the time too.  I'll have to check it out.  I think if I discover that I had that coverage on the ones that just popped, I may be able to get another set.  But those would be cheap tires still I'm afraid because of the ones I had bought, if they replaced those, they may be crap ones too.  I did just get some Goodyear Marathons, dunno what ply they are, I'll have to look them up tomorrow when I'm back out there.

88.5 showed up after the crowd had died down.  We had a good dinner and better company with some great stories, I know there will be more tomorrow.  Look forward to seeing a good turn out tomorrow.  You guys take care I'll post up more pics tomorrow throughout the day.  May a link to a short video of the fumes car running.  I'll take a stab at reprogramming the computer tomorrow to make it stop dumping so much fuel.  It's too rich right now and only wants to run at about 3k RPMs.  A good problem to have.   :LL:

Thanks,
Coop

Coop,
   Next time, here is something to think about. When I got my first real store bought racecar hauler, I was more proud of the eight ply actual trailer tires. No more 'Maypop Brand" like I had been using. About 10,000 miles in, one of them separated like trailer tires do. They will separate before they ever wear out because of the sharp radius that two axles that close together makes them drag across. I figured I had nothing to loose so I took it to Discount Tire to see about a warranty on the Goodyear tire. They told me that it had 75% tread left and they would replace it for $50. Then they asked me if I wanted the extended warranty. Before I could answer, they volunteered that if I took it, they would not know which trailer tire was replaced and it would cover all of them. Past experience told me that the other three were not far behind so I took it. Then in the next few thousand miles, when the other three did separate, that $25 warranty bought me the other three trailer tires.

Way to go, Coop!
Sorry to hear about having to replace the tires but I hope you didn't have any other damage because of that.  Sometimes just the age of those tires will do you in.
See you on Saturday.

I SO wish I could make it but it's just too far, and the high cost of travel to the east coast, The AHA show we use to have here on the west coast has been watered down to it barely being a show anymore, and this year was cancelled due to low registration: a moment of silence =(

Tusabes, true but don't be too hard on them. Seven Lambos will more than double the old attendance record for Carlisle.

Oh yeah, I got an alignment today!!!  I'll have to post up the car with the pads hanging on the wheels in my build thread.  ::bounce

Let's get a list here.  Everyone bringing their car to Carlisle, finished or not, copy this list, and add your name and car, and put it in a reply.

1. Coop, Diablo (under construction)
2. RT, Diablo (finished - Saturday only)
3. Rshaef will drive his beautiful red Diablo up from Virginia on Saturday (weather permitting)
4. Jimbo will drive his beautiful purple Diablo (Friday? & Saturday weather permitting)
5. AdrianBurton Diablo (work in progress - Saturday only)

Keep the ball rolling.  Let's see how long this list gets.
