The headline reads…Fuller repeats in Top Fuel, T. Pedregon sweeps near max points, KJ wins 36th
Check it out. It was a very exciting race. But of course the main excitement was in the midway.

Naturally we are working hard.

I am the guy with the hat on…

Just so you don’t think everything here is computer geek stuff or Lizard related.
I have spent the last 2 days at Firebird International Raceway working and promoting Tire Pros at the event. It started out yesterday with me having breakfast with Kenny Bernstein (photos coming soon) and got more exciting as the day went on!
A full day of qualifying both Friday and Saturday, culminating with a dramatic last-ditch qualifying efforts by John Force and Doug Kalitta. Barely extending their class-leading streaks, both men managed to limp in during the fourth and final time trial, Force in Funny Car with a 4.818 and Kalitta in Top Fuel with a 4.547. Force has now qualified for 394 consecutive events, while Kalitta has reached 162 straight race days. If you have never had the experience of seeing a car go 330 MPH+ on a quarter mile you have not seen anything!
But, not only did we see some great runs and a little nail biting, we also had alot of fun at our booth! We had lots of vistors and the weather was great! Mid 60’s with abundant sunshine.
Sunday will bring the finals and everything is up for grabs. Should be a great day! You can see some of the highlights on NHRA Race Day live this Sunday from the Checker Schucks Kragen NHRA Nationals at 11 a.m. Eastern on ESPN2 and ESPN2HD.
Check out other photos and view details on the upcoming Tire Pros Monster Truck and Jammin Nationals here!

PS… I will be sling’ing the ESPN show from our booth and handing out their brochures. So I guess there will be a little geek talk going on.

As some of you might know I am in the tire business. I don’t have anything to do with manufacturing but strikes do affect me. This commercial is from the United Steel Workers when they were on strike. I can’t believe this was allowed to air. The end where they say “Who is building your tires” and the video of the truck flying through the air?

Following up on the “Need Wheels or Rims” article how about a cool and easy way to find the right tire for you car? This is another problem with upgrading wheels. What size tire do I need? You can find out here.

And… not only find your original “OE” size, but plus one, two or three wheel size upgrades.
This with the wheel visualizer should give you all the info you need!

First of all NO I am not selling anything…

But if you like the visualizer, do me a solid and digg it

The hardest part about finding cool new wheels for your car is deciding on the basic design that you like. How will it look on your car? Will they fit? What size tire do I need to work with my new wheels?
