Hammertime what do you use? beadlocks? or Hightack? I consisdered using High tack on my new wheels rather than screws....never tried it before though.
I use neither, I mark them to start year and they dont usually turn it they turn i put screws in but more often then not they dont turn. 1.04 60ft best without turning at all, I've seen some turn 1/4 way in 1 pass though. its best to not screw mark then if needed screw
David,
How do you know the tire did not spin 2 1/4 revolutions? Or 3 1/4?
If it only slipped a quarter, I don't see any problem at all. What's a quarter of a rotation...2 feet? Not much in 3280 feet.
That brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "run it out the back door."
Now I'm going to have to remove my tatoo on my arm that has real dragracers race 1320'. GEEZ.............
