Next month we are heading out to Indianapolis to the Corvair Olympics so tomorrow we will be running on the street tires to practice for the Olympics. The race tires would bump us out of the Improved Stock class, and I don’t want to do that.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ll let you all know how it goes… (although I am always way outclassed at these events!)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mark Edmonds<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
