Give me your tire sizes to stock up on used tires for you guys to shred though.

ill bring the tires up with me to the event, just give me your names sizes and ill save them from this point until the event. i will charge $10 - $20 for two and four tires. i charge this because i am bringing these to you at the event.

post those sizes!

Probably won't find a ton of those though, plus I'm not doing the drifting.

The only problem I forsee with that is who is bringing a tire machine and a balancer?

That is a very good idea. Even if they're not mounted, I'm sure there are places in Carlisle that could do mount/balance cheaply.

The only issue I see, and it's very minor, is that we cannot leave any worn out tires/casings behind. They have to be removed from the Fairgrounds at the end of the event.

If theres a tire machine and balancer there, I'll mount and balance for a small price.

Cool, I hope we can figure out what to do about mounting and balancing

we can get a portable bubble balancer....not the most precise but effective for the event.

as for mounting...is there not a tire machine at the track? i just feel thats something that would be a given. im sure we can get in touch with a local shop.

Why the hell are you idiots trying to balance drift tires when you're going to shred them off in an hour anyway? God damn.

indeed. people should keep there stock wheels ( or cheapass wheels ) for their drift tires and just put on cheapy unbalanced tires, while having a set of good wheels and tires that are balanced for everyday driving. especially if your a beginer

FYI. Carlisle Fairgrounds does not have tire machines or balancers on site. Unless someone brings a machine with them, the alternative is a paying a local gas station/tire vendor to do it. Carlisle is a major truck hub, so I'm sure there are plenty of them.
