So I have driven down to Santa Pod from Scotlad for the Mopar weekend. Woke up this morning ready to hit the track only to find a completely flat rear tyre ??. Got to a tyre shop and it seems I'm losing air where the split rims come together (18" HRE's). I had the wheels taken apart and polished over the winter.
So here I am desperate to get the car down the track with its newly installed Roe Blower, 400 miles from home and can't find a single wheel shop open on a Saturday that can fix this problem.

Anyone know of someone that could take care of this problem?? I really want to go down the track tomorrow!!

Thanks guys, had a great weekend dispite the slight leak from my newly put together split rim. Once I realised it was only losing a few psi each hour I bought a pump and just kept topping it up.

It was brilliant to see so many different Vipers there! Was hoping a few might have joined in the racing, would have been cool do go down the strip with another Viper! Maybe next year!

I was really pleased with my times, the video above was my first and slowest run but once I got a feel for it she was running 11.2's. It was a nice surprise at the end to be awarded the "Fastest Modern Muscle" trophy biggrin

The Roe was my winter project and I couldn't be happier with the results. The car just has a blind tune on it from Sean at the moment so will be getting to a dyno for some data to create a more precise tune shortly.

I'll be there next year so hopefully will have a chance to meet those of you I didn't get to talk to this year.
