now I am starting the load up

Planning on going to visit my brother tomorrow on the way down and spend the night at his place then come down in the late morning.

Are we planning any tuft testing or any other events that I might need to pack things for?

[JethroBodine]

Tufting sounds good. I know Cd, Sven7, and others have wanted a tuft vid of my car for a long time now.

I probably won't do as well in any coast down testing we do as the H-rated tires DEFINITELY don't roll as good as the Insight tires.

[Weather Spotter]

I checked my tire pressure this morning and found I was 6psi low I fixed that and put them up to max side wall ++

I will see if I can find some yarn for testing.

[Tango Charlie]

Yeah, definitely bring some yarn. I've got plenty of blue painter's tape. I'm up to my elbows with the t'ailer, so I won't have time to cut any tufts.
My son is mowing the backyard as I type, before the rain hits.

WeatherSpotter; did KamperBob get in touch with you?

[Weather Spotter]

yes he did, I will be unable to carpool do to a family thing on Sunday thats half way to your place.

[Weather Spotter]

I got a bit of a head start on the tuft testing. i might even get them up loaded for review.

I have never read a tuft test video so i am open to ideas.

here is a you tube of a tuft testing run:
