For all those who saw the square tires on the Fly.....

I pulled the tubes today and remounted the tires on the rims. It made no difference.

I guess the tires are just out of round, even though they are new. I gueess I will buy some bias ply this time and see if that makes a difference on the rim.

 

I ordered a set of th moroso bias ply drag tires. Should be better than a radial anyway.

 

Hope they work out. Cal

 

Roothawg, did I tell you you're my new hero?
After seeing the Fly in the real, I divorced Hop along Cassidy, The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and Superman.
Now, if only we lived closer together,
I had a thought about streeting the Roothawg Coupe, But now, after seeing what you did with the FLY, am thinking "GASSER"
Who Knows?

If I am your hero.....you are hard up.

You aren't even on the same level of Heroism as me goob...

 

Roothawg Is My Hero Too!!!!!


But then, I just came in from the garage and I had the Steve Miller Band blastin' away........I'm not very cool.

 

Yeah, what is this shit? You told me I was your hero. I'll bet you even told Denise SHE was your hero....

 

<font color="green"> I have a GREAT idea!!

Let's all be everyone else's hero!!

It would sure even out the workload!

I, for one am just worn smooth being an idol to you all.

RASHY </font>

 

Denise is the subject of my fantasys when I'm sitting in my 34 in the garage making engine noises and power shifting.....be glad that ain't you........

 

I don't think I can be the sole hero for this part of the US because of prior engagements. I will be signing autographs at Toys R Us on Monday though.

Why?

Are they finally debuting the ROOTAWG action figure TM with the Kung-Fu grip TM and John Force costume TM?

Can you get me a case of them?

I could probably pimp 'em on ebay. </font>

 

I want one of those....that will go perfect with my GERM Action Figure with camshaft and James Dead Switchblade.

 

I gotcher action figure right here!

 

Ahahahaha. Sorry Root. I saw this on one of your posts and hadda steal it..hahahahah!a

 

<font color="green"> DAMN that pic!

That just isn't my color, and my HAIR!!!! </font>

 

I asked if they would have the SuperRash action figure done in time for the debut, but they had a hard time getting the velcro stick on lawn chair and Poncherello sunglasses to fit in the package.

 

Rocky. I am going to let you in on a little secret..... just between you and me.
Shhhhhh.... You Are my hero. NO one drives a Rambler like you do.
I was just stringing ol' Roothawg along. I'm thinking that if I bolster his ego just a little, He'll say He will come up here adn finish my ol Roothawg or Die cooopey.
Don't tell him.

Rocky,

I'll let you in on a big secret.

You WOULD be my hero except,

I was right behind you TWICE when your car puked on the track and the subsequent wait made me hot and sweaty, broke my concentration, made the RASHmobile run like shit, (yeah, I'm blaming that on you.) And made MAMA Rash have to smell my greasy, stinking, hot, no racing worth a crap self.

I'm surprised she didn't leave me.

I even blame the heat on you.

Way to go slick, you should be ashamed of yourself.

That was fun. </font>

 

Ok, Jim C....I'm alright now....and Rashy...uh, sorry about the puke. Any further communications regarding a certain red 1963 Rambler American shold be directed to a mister Fatass whitewalls of Sedalia, Mo.....
And you can sic your ol' lady on Dean, the guy that owns the nash now.....heh heh..

 

<font color="green"> You funny! </font>

 

Ahhhhhh……..the good ol' days of the HAMB! Miss the jocular banter and fellowship.

 

Mr. Outofroundness doesn't discriminate between bias/radial/new/old.

 

Wow, I forgot about this post. I do miss all of the old regulars. Thanks for the way back machine.

Oh an for those that are wondering what this post was about, the front 12 spokes were a very early American Racing without the safety bead. We didn't know that and the previous owner of the wheels probably didn't either. It takes someone who really knows how to run a tire machine to get them centered. We found this out after going to the first HAMB drags. The car was hopping so violently, you could see it from the stands. It was the maiden voyage for the Fly.
