^ will do! I'm mounting them this week. I learned that last set of tires (with Blizzaks), getting the mold-release stuff off of them before they're at full grip.

edit: 600 miles shouldn't be hard, as i'm 550 from the dragon
I'm in the same boat. New tires are being mounted (that's on the rims for you sicko's) this weekend.

It sure sounds like you're taking joy in the road being closed for our event. I hope I'm just reading that wrong...

One hell of a lot more roads around the area than the Dragon....

.........Besides, it's about the people, not just the roads

.........and, they are saying ..."It" ( being the Dragon ) will be open by March 26th ........ I have faith, in the good 'ol state of Tennessee....

Hope they get those pesky boulders out of the way, and that no other roads get "rocked" on! Still should be a great event for you all without the Dragon - as eveyone has said there are a TON of great roads in the area. Wish I were going to be there! Be safe!
