Nice shots!  Sorry to hear about your trip home, but at least it was memorable...I figured we were the only ones who encountered issues and had to tack on almost 505 travel time to the return trek  :-\

I had a 225/50R15 come apart up front...my 295s are getting really low on tread...not a great time to have it happen that far from home.  Glad no damage was done to the car tho.

Hey guys, it's Dan with the '67 Charger that tagged along on the way out...

When did you end up heading back?  I left after I was eliminated in footbrake late Sunday afternoon.  Sorry to hear about the misadventures, but these ARE the things the good stories are born from...

Dan,

Welcome to the site! It was a pleasure to have met you in Barstow. I saw you run a few times over the weekend.  :2thumbs: Troy and I left around noon on Sunday...those 15+ hours of travel time just won't drive themselves.  :icon_smile_big:

The car was running in the 11.3 - 11.4's, and I made it to the money in footbrake.  I lost when I did because I was dialing soft and letting off to cause the faster car to break out, but I spun off the line and the subsequent letting off gave me a loss by .002.  Oh well.  Got a little check in the mail today.   :icon_smile_big:

A few minutes out of Boron that same damn shimmy came back. We had to pull off the freeway onto a frontage road to check on the car. What we found was the the right rear tire was now also coming apart. You can see this in the third photo at the left side. At 5:45 pm on a Sunday evening. In the middle of nowhere (as far as service). There is nothing that is going to be open. We were in a giant pickle jar....                                                     

2 yrs ago I lost 3 Nokian snow tires to de-lamination. Yes, 3 of the same tires on the same car all at once. The 4th was probably not far behind. Well over 50% tread left. They started to come apart on the 10hr leg of the family vacation.

Great photos!  :drool5: Wish I could have been there.  :yesnod:
