Re: Loosing a Tire During Launch!!!
Is that the front part of the Cal Tracks (in front of the rim) hitting the track?

Re: Loosing a Tire During Launch!!!
From Moparts.com from someone who said they knew Paul:
was a M/T radial slick that blew .... he told me M/T took the tire and is shipping back to the factory to see why..or what happened... the slick was almost new also...and M/T replaced both of them on the car.. |

Re: Loosing a Tire During Launch!!!
Ouch! Nice car though - I like it!! 68 or 69? Marker lights are missing....
FYI, Loose is as in your shoe string is loose, lose is as in you lose a race (or a tire). So technically its Losing a tire during launch  But technically it did come loose from the rim

68 is the only year for Dart GTS to have horizontal stripe option. It has rear marker lights by the way Angela. Little tiny round ones. Front fenders must hae been replaced. |
