new wheels on Homade

new wheels on homade just in time for the speedway on saturday. We've been invited by the cincinnati f100 club to participate in the opening ceremonies for the Ford Built Tough Truck Race at Ky Speedway and my grandaughter Courtney and I are going. All trucks to meet at Florence Mall about 25 miles away at noon and be escorted by a Ky State Police 1949 Ford Police Cruzer to the speedway. Before the race the trucks run the track then return to pits and take one of the drivers around the track in the bed of the truck, Think I'll let Courtney drive Homade during the laps on the track. Boy do I like my new wheels,Garry
NOW WILL SOMEONE GO IN MY GALLARY AND POST THE NEW WHEELS GALLARY Thanks Garry

A friend of mine ask if I wanted to do that this year. I told him I couldn't make plans because of my work scedule but if they needed someone that morning, to call and if I was not working I would fill in.

Brian, I met the president of the club thru Truxx when we were at Pigeon Forge last month and when Truxx told him I lived 3 miles from the track he invited me to join them so we'll be there.For some reason I can't get pics to post like you all do, all I get is a square of black dots with a red x in the middle, Dan finally did it where you can pull 2 pics, I hate computers.

Early Wheel out in cal. made them for me 16x8 on front 16x10 on rear, wanted 16x12 or14 but 10 is as wide as they'd go with the shallow front space that I needed,excellent wheels, the heaviest wheel weight is 1oz, couldn't be happier,Gaarry
