Hey guys!! Hope everyone enjoyed the day!
Aaron, i finally made it to Tractor supply and picked up my tires!!! I had a fun time just changing one so far. I had to make a bar setup with 2 legs just the outside dia. of the rim to break the bead. Than i just cut the tire in half anf cut the steel rib at the bead with a cut off. It was easy to get the new tire back on. It also helped leaving the tire out in the sun for awhile. Now 3 more to go!!!!!!

Well, due to a very late mailman I ended up being 3 hours late, and it turns out you can rent helmets for 5 bucks as long as you don't mind leaving you credit card with them for the duration. Steve got all of his racing in before I even even got there. I only saw Jim once by himself, and once with Pete against Jim. I have a video of that, that will find its way up here at some point (gotta find the dock for my camcorder).
