I remember having to replace a pair of bias ply tires literally on a MONTHLY basis.

Of course, when your powerplant is over 500 hp the temptation to light up the rears when you were leaving the local burger drive in joint at midnight on a hot sultry July night is strong. Too strong to resist. Even the doubled up return springs on your Holly 850 double pumper would yield to the pressure from your right foot.

That road was one solid BLACK stripe like the launch area of a top fuel dragstrip. I miss those nights.
