Excellent material Jack, thank you.

>>the tire drill that reds is talking about is very similar to the heavy bag we mount a tire on a tree or wood light pole at the right swing height off the ground it is bolted on with lags so it sits just like it would on a car but off the ground a little.Treat it like a tee drill but you move around for inside or outside location because tire is stationary.We try to be at maximum speed by contact,if you hold the position you can see the mechanics at contact.
