Nice front wheels.



Found a pretty good deal on some 15" wheels for the back so I can get some M/T ET Fronts mounted. I think I have some idea what yours cost... you're right. Don't wanna know! Still wanna yank one off the back and weigh it quick so I know what to expect for a difference. I know the AR-24's are a good light wheel, but the tire I have on it has got to be a tank.

Ever played around with figuring out what kind of difference rotational weight makes on these cars? I've worked on static weight and found it to be 1 lb = .003. I remember Rusty forgot and left his spare wheels in the trunk once, and was about .35 slow!

Here's Rusty's, from the 1998 Dutch Classic...


The car's come a long way since this....

First night we ever raced the car, I ran a best of a 20.45. I won that night. LMAO!


It's a magnet for A and B cars!

Well the sad news is I doubt you will be seeing much of my car anymore. NHRA has just added another 2 hp to my Car and it's getting alittle unsafe to be adding 530 lbs to that little car so it can make E weight, and with the new indexs the car can't quite run the new D index so I'm a bit syuck between a rock and a hard place. Soo I might run the car in D in the spring if for some reason the Comp car isn't together. but other than that it's just gotten unsafe to at 530 lbs to a car that normally weighs alittle over 1900.

Here is my fwd car that I hope to campaign in stock next year. Obviously in the rendering the wheels are not correct, but he didnt have a template for the wheels that I want.. Art I am thinking the same wheels as you in the rear. Do you guys think the the "Mitsubishi Zero Scheme" is too much? Obviously I have made the red circle purple... And some of the rest of the graphics are not added yet either... I like the old school rod kinda look. And the WWII era airplane theme kinda fits that. Also the car is a Mitsubishi which is one thing that will make it stand out tremendously.. Oh and lastly it was 100% Drooze's idea :/ I obviously mean no disrespect by it, and plenty of Americans aviations enthusiasts have Japanese war planes or at least models. Thoughts?

With the turbo cars weight didn't make much difference.
On the N/A Neon I really haven't gotten around to trying to add weight, Short shifting seems to do the trick.

Jimi Those wheels I have in the back are usually expensive. I got them on Ebay for $150 for the pair.
