SINCE WHEN DO HUGE CIRCULAR STEEL PLATES THAT ENCOMPASS 95% OF THE DIAMETER OF THE TIRE CONSTITUTE A "BEADLOCK" ? I TELL YOU, THIS poop IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF HAND.. AM I JEALOUS BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD THEM?? NOPE... I REFUSE TO BUY, BUILD OR FAB A SET UP. MOST RETARDED THING I HAVE SEEN IN 31 YEARS OF DERBYING.. WOULD HATE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF ONE OF THOSE PLATES CAM LOOSE AND WENT INTO THE CROWD.... SURE, SURE, YOU SAY.. ANYTHING INVOLVING A HIGH SPEED ROTATING MASS OF STEEL, RUBBER, BOLTS, LUG NUTS IS A RISK. BUT THAT poop??? RETARDED.....WHAT HAPPENED TO REAL DEMOLITION DERBY?? WHERE DID THAT SPORT GO? WHATS CRAZY IS THAT GUYS WILL BUY 5 GRANS WORTH OF UNBREAKABLE CRAP JUST LIKE THE NEXT GUY HAS, AND EVENTUALLY THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CAR IS TO DISABLE THE DRIVER... WHEN CONCUSSIONS AND BROKEN BONES ARE THE ONLY WAY TO STOP ANOTHER GUY FROM WINNING... COUNT ME OUT....

Those are 'stock' here in Ohio...we did invent bada$$ afterall. That's always been REAL in Ohio. heck it used to more REAL....from perspective it's FAKE now lol. Welding all the body and frame seams and leafing a coil car was 'bone stock' not too long ago.....not to mention watching roundys fold Imps in half.
I got 2 98-02's that would make you slit your wrists if you think those tires are outrageous.
The only thing that's changed here Crusher is these aftermarket parts are making more than just the people selling them $$$...they are being "approved" by promoters....that's kind of b-s but whatever. I could make it better (say a bolt in 03up Ford cradle)....nope gotta go thru whomever.
What I think is stupid is junking a car a derby....kind of hard to derby when you don't have any cars....what sucks even worse is to be competitive it's who can 'find' the cleanest car and who has the most relatives building a car in 1 general area.....ehhh....
