Just me.... ;D

In all fairness I would have spun up a slick doing what I did...

no tire takes kindly to the suspension unloading at full throttle with your knee on the ground...

... but the little voice inside me will continue to blame the tire.

The single compound Powers are the best all around tire I have ever used.
