[TPR] Asa's Thursday update Aug 9

[Teampantera]

My 2 cents 
Pull out your credit card and get the f'ing donuts in the morning fedxd next day delivery so get on phone EARLY friday morning.

Your not gonna have trouble with those tires unless maybe you are in a lock-to-lock turn and there is nothing like that at SS...just make sure your suspension, bushings, bearings, clearances are all  tight...nothing loose or sloppy
