    Spool on the street...:tsk:

    Hate that it happened to you, glad no one was hurt.
    However spool on the street is really bad idea.

    I guess this can be a reminder to everyone. Spools on the street are a bad idea.

    It is in the description of his car.

    Not to get into a battle over "should or should not" run one on the street. Just the nature of the beast and anyone running a spool needs to be aware of conditions. A locker rear or a posi with a nice stiff set of clutch packs can get you into the same trouble on wet or snowy roads. It has happened to me with a detroit locker in a pickup truck on wet roads and when it happened - I was going in circles in seconds - no time to even counter steer. It was crazy!

    :yup:

    Heck ya,, have I done crap I wasnt supposed to do? Oh yeah!!!!!! Do I have stuff on some of my cars that makes them cooler yet potentially less safe,, yeah. By just adding larger wheels and tires I have thrown my braking potential into another realm,, which is less braking power. So yeah,, not dissin over a spool,, just to say I am guilty of doing stuff too.
