I lost fair and square. I was unable to get traction in any gear.
Yup didn't have time to swap out tires and I sure as shit wasn't going to back down. Hindsight I should have backed down given what the tires looked like when I got home just now.

Glad that nothing happening to the tires while y'all were running. That would probably be a lot of money down the drain between both of you.

Man! Please be careful guys! I don't wanna hear about somebody tearing something up, or even worse, getting hurt. Not gonna preach, but that's just plain asking something bad to happen.
Stepping off of my soapbox now.
