349 CI on the cheap

Well didn't get a chance to run the engine as of yet. While looking at everything yesterday I noticed what looked like oil splashed on the inside of the front tire. But to find out that one of the Drag Front's was actually very, very dry rotted and cracked. Now keep in mind that these tires were purchased just 8 months ago new. The other tire was just like new, so it was a good thing that I didn't go yesterday as this may have been a accident waiting to happen. And with the expense that I have both in time and $$$$ in the car I don't need to see if the rollbars will work like they should.

Just another set back that has to be addressed. I'm going this morning to see what the company will do about the tire and if they have had this problem before. Heck the matting rib from where they put the tire together is still very visable in the center of the tire and they don't have more than 50 runs on them. Hopefully they'll do something about it, and maybe send the tire back for inspection and cause.
