Tommy, if you look at your very first post that started this thread, the evidence shows you claiming Blitz would run "slicks", so you knew that's what you were looking to compete against. Now you want him to run hard dirt track tires... those are far from slicks.

I also told Tom i would bet him 100,000 that i would pass a lie detector test that asked me if i believed that I would be able to run new slicks of my choice the day of the race considering i didn't have real slicks on my car at the time and Tom declined this bet. This is the text transcript a day after we had already booked the bet and hours after he had posted the bet on this forum. Curious what your thoughts are.

1/30 – 7:01pm
Dan: “We putting new tires on anyway. I’ll get the ones least likely
to crash. I’m not trying to die for this bet”
Tom: “Bull****, bull****, bull**** – you were the one saying we had
to stick to our existing tires. You can get new ones of the same
tires that are going to drive your ass straight into a wall. But the
EXACT same ones.”
Dan: “I said u have to run factory stock showroom Ferrari tires they
sold u the car with. I can obviously put new slicks on as well”
Tom: “You said ALL the equipment stays the same – you can put on new
ones of the EXACT same slicks jackass”
Tom: “Not some new and better equipment”
Dan: “Slicks are all the same”
Dan: “I’ve got racing slicks”
Tom: “Well then you obviously have no issue with not cheating and
using the same exact ones. No changes!”
Tom: “If you get tires that are different then so do I and you are so
miserably f’d then that you might as well just drive straight into a
wall – you can put a clean set of the exact same tires on so you don’t
***** about a blowout; that’s it”
Dan: “U get stock tires I get slicks, it’s pretty simple”
Tom: “You are full of **** and that you have to try and cheat now
shows how sad and cheap your life has become – all the equipment stays
the same and you know it”

So THIS is how millionaires negotiate. Taking good notes.

Why are people referring to the Goodyear BB's as "crappy tires"??
