Took her out for the first time this year (the last local cruise night in town for the summer).
Since it was "race car night", I put the original owner's set of 1970 15x4 and 15x7 Cragars on. Those 40-year old Parnelli Jones Firestones were no fun to drive on. On the drive over, I didn't go over 40 mph due to the fact that they have hardened into something resembling bakelite.
I even had a bunch of trouble trying to just get out of the garage this afternoon. The car wouldn't back over the small 2"x4" block of wood I use as a wheel chock. The tires would just spin in place. It reminded me of those old AFX slot cars, you had as a kid when you tried to duplicate a real car doing a burn out by holding it in place and hitting the throttle.

That 56 Vette in front of my car is owned by a buddy of the guy I bought the Charger from back in 1987. The car has been a race car for a few decades.
