When we first made the bet, I told Tom that I had slicks on the car and that i would run slicks and that he had to stick to his stock tires. Later on after he started asking around he then tried to stipulate that they had to be the exact same slicks at were on the car at the time of the bet. The tires I had on the car at the time of the bet were not full slicks, they were grooved slicks and I had every intention of putting on full slicks for the race. He however was obviously under the impression that we could put new tires on, but that they had to be the exact same, thus not allowing me to run full slicks as we agreed in the beginning of the bet. He killed it on the track today ran a few 11.2's and a bunch of 11.3's and I don't want that to influence this, but I have given him every edge possible when we negotiated the terms of this bet, like not making him use a tree so he wouldn't redlight and have a slow start etc. I feel like i have been very fair the whole way through, so I think I should be allowed to run slicks as I had intended in the beginning, but Tom doesn't agree. I really want to do this race, and its the only thing that has gotten me excited this year, I just want it to be fair, and I feel like me running slicks like agreed would make it a fair bet. But Tom doesn't agree, so I might just end up getting ****ed and have to run the road course tires i got on there now, unless we can agree on some fair arbitration...
