Subject: wreck

i was wondering yall said he had a flat on the front tires , did any body notice if he pulled the wheels hard on that pass , i had the same issue with my car about two years ago and the problem was rubber valve stems, pulling the wheels up high and pressure of coming down popped out the valve stem the fix was bolt stems maybe thats not what happend but it did to me . just a suggestion to fellow racers that like wheelies.

Frank, I was at Wilmers house yesterday and saw the tires. The valve stems did not appear to be hurt.

Wilmer came by the shop Monday and ask what I thought about his tires or what I tought happen. The run the he made when the incident happen was the quickest pass he has ever made. What happen is that he got on the brakes a little to hard and the front tires locked up. The race tires hoosiers, goodyear, M/T all are very shallow ply tires and can not take hard braking. This caused the tires to blow out and got him out of control. SIDE
