I have gotta play this weekend. All of the corvettes are in town. I'm looking to see if Weld even has any in stock.

By 4x4 I meant a 4x4 block of wood that must of fell off someones trailer or something.

Sucks man, but could have been worse, ive seen some really crazy stuff happen on the freeway. At first i was thinking "what kind of 4x4 could own easter's truck, that would have to be one CRAZY *** engine. "

The tire looks okay. Is there anyway to know if it has been damaged inside? Is it better just to replace the tire? If I need to replace the tire I might as well just order some new drag radials and two new wheels.

I dont think a new tire is in order on this one, unless its cracking or has a split its fine, the inside isnt what took the impact anyhow

I did that to one of my new Boyds and all the tire guys did was whack it with a rubber mallet.

Looks like new so check before you have to order a new wheel.

I've got a rubber hammer. I'll try that. Thanks.
I took it up to 120 after I hit that piece of wood. The tire and wheel still hold air, but when I corner hard it has a tick tick tick sound.

If it holds air then you should be able to "whack" it back into place.
