  Is the show on air yet ?  Spike TV ??
or is this a running commentary from before it gets on air ??

Sorry for the bad "luck" .
I'm guessing with a ford fusion, they are not going to make it through the competition.

Found a some footage of the start

At about 6:05 in to the video they do a bit on Team Angrier.
I like how Mike ignores the guy calling his engine a 383. Listening to it, someone says 440, but then Mike says "stroker" and that's when the guy says, "So, it's more like a 383." Bowtie guy perhaps?  :smilielol:

Wow, thats too bad. So no spare tire and rim in the trunk.  :shruggy:

Apparently not...     there's the fly in the ointment or whatever cliche' you'd prefer.

Well it sucks.   Sorry Mike.  :'(        I'm not down on him...   it was great to see the project thru.    Better luck next time  :2thumbs:

In the 20/20 hindsight dept...   well maybe they'll get room for a spare for next time... or like what some of the other big money teams do and get a team chase van with some parts.

Certainly the wheels are / were a point of contention with some folks.     All I can say is that perhaps if it was a commercially available set of wheels and tires it might have been easier to secure a replacement.    Being as they were custom... well...   :icon_smile_blackeye:

It was always frustrating to try to make the clueless passerby understand the concept of a stroker motor. I don't miss that. I eventually just quit trying and would respond with, "318".

In the 20/20 hindsight department, there was a 155-90-16 Jeep compact spare in the trunk of that car when I sold it to Mike. Whether or not it would have cleared those brakes I don't know, but I'm certain it could have fit through that dinky Daytona trunk opening. Where to stick the flat would be another challenge.

Not a lot of tire stores where they broke down. A more common tire size probably would not have helped.

We'll get 'em next year.

Where they were was not a public highway, they were on the Blackfoot Indian Reservation.......its a different NATION (they have their own rules, laws, and tribal police/courts).

It's good to hear they are being responsible and not breaking any laws.

WOuld have had to have been over a 15" wheel and not sure how much the trunk was packed  :shruggy:  Sure seems like a good idea in hind site.... however, dont think on the SHOW bullrun they had any tire issues may have tought the same here?

SFRT

hell man..strap it to the roof! I am no ralley pro, but it seems you'd want to take as many vital spares as possible? When i go out in the desert with the enduro bikes we take plenty of crap and its saved our asses multiple times.

There are a lot of folks that don't carry a spare and put their faith in AAA. Most of those folks have been very fortunate in the past.

Me? I've had enough road hazzard issues that I alway make sure I have a good spare if I'm going to be far from home.

With the the Daytona small trunk opening, and non-stock rollers he was using, a full size tire was probably not an option, but there are some alternatives out there. You just have to scrounge the junk yards looking through trunks.
