I do not think the dots were needed out there. lmao! That does look like alot of fun! Did you save a set for me. I want to get some on monday for my lightning. How did the new tires wear, can they be used more than once of driving like that?

i agree, tape is the getto way of drifting, doesnt last long enough and doesnt drift enough, the plastic is the way to go for drifting.

Yeah not many good laps.. but that will come. Believe it or not, I felt the same way about the speed but going slow like that is a challenge.
