How strict is the 40" Max tire rule ?
cause i want to participate with a team of guys from AOI in this, they want me to do the Mud and Pull
I'm just not gonna buy new tires just for one event.

I'm just not gonna buy new tires just for one event.

Can you borrow some?

 

[SlowmoSU]

Yeah I guess its possible. But nobody around here runs Rockwells with anything less then a 44" tire.

Anyone have some 39.5 Boggers on Rockwell wheels i could borrow ? :smokin:

 

[alwayssmiling67]

40" tire is the Max.
Borrowing a set or even sharing your tires between team mates sometimes works.

Need teams that want to compete to get their entry form to me
to confirm your presence.
I've got a lot of promoting to do!
Would like to get TV coverage such as Spike TV back to film this year.

It takes 3 rigs
3 drivers
3 spotters
1 team captain
some spare parts, great team work, a little luck and a lot of will!
