However, this would be counter-productive for street racing in that you would have to lay it down quite in advance if you use straight VHT, and about a half hour in advance if you cut it with Methanol...it helps it setup faster. Also the stuff is really expensive, that's part of the reason why it isn't used on Wed night at Sac. TNT, and any event however, it is sprayed. It costs at least $200 per lane to do this for the VHT, plus the cost of the Methanol. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>281n/a</b> <br /><small>Member # 1465</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,8,1,4,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> lol so funny how bout buy some new clothes looks like those sneakers have been grabbed from the garbage can.Where you shop goodwill,salvation? <img border="0" alt="[BS flag]" title="" src="graemlins/bs_flag.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Chris M.</b> <br /><small>Member # 1708</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,8,20,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 281n/a:<br /><strong>lol so funny how bout buy some new clothes looks like those sneakers have been grabbed from the garbage can.Where you shop goodwill,salvation? <img border="0" alt="[BS flag]" title="" src="graemlins/bs_flag.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">don't hate because you're so much fucking dumber than i am you god damn moron. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <br /><br />they're airwalks, if you see some for sale i'll buy them... but they do not sell them anymore. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HaulnAssMaro</b> <br /><small>Member # 541</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,9,1,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Chris M.:<br /><strong><a href="http://sassyracing.com/Chris/NiceTrackPrep.mpg" target="_blank">VHT and rubber are a beautiful thing</a></strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Well it looked real nice until some teal camaro fukked it up 2x..............O wait that was me. <img border="0" alt="[Whoo Whooooo!]" title="" src="graemlins/woowoo.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
