dang, my hubs are roaring like crazy right now but I don't think I have any play yet.
The new ones are in the garage going on hopefully tomorrow.
I expect with tires like that, a hub bearing on the way out is quiet.

That's terrible, talk about terrible timing.

Sorry I couldn't go guys. My wallet was swiped yesterday and I don't have any cards and just got a license today. Looks like someone was telling me not to go lol. I'll live this experience vicariously through the pictures and make damn sure to hit the April film shoot trip/event/experience.
