Brand spanking new set of Cheetah's. /images/boards/smilies/bawl.gif

Maybe I gripped one too tight...don't know, didn't feel like I was doing anything different than the rest, but when washing the bore polish off in the sink, I felt one crack.

It has a crack from the edge of the tread (inside, not the side where the sidewall is) about 1/3 (at most) the way in.

So...we have a 4 wheel touching rule, so we make one *just barely* touch.

Still run it and use it for that one?

Or it's hosed and unusable now? I'm guessing it'll not be true now.

If so, I have a set of Rages I can use one of. They're a different color, but whatever. Would be better than a stock wheel, right?

Race is this Sat, so even though I'm only an hour or so from John, there's no getting a replacement.
 
That's they way it's going to be, then.

Prepped the remaining Cheetahs with Red Rocket and they are in the bag and ready for assembly.

I'll Bogart the Rage off last year's car and re-prep it. Assembly this afternoon and check it in this evening.

Last go-round for Cubs, as my boy is a Webelo II this year. Luckily, the Girl Scouts do their Powderpuff Derby all the way through the end of high school, so we're not totally done, yet.
