Thinking on taking out the outside rows of studs

[ttreewalkerr]

2005 Fusion 900.

It's 144 studed,, but a few studs flew off the outside row, not tore to outside, missing stud locations are ok... My question is, am i betteroff remove both outside rows of studs ? I figure this HP on this thing will just pluck them off allot, and worse case do a bad tear to outside of track.

I'd sacrafice some grip, for long track life.


What you think,, the bare holes would be alrighht ?

When you start to loose them either replace them or they will do it for you.
Could cause more damage than you need. A hole is better than a track spinning then grabin 1 or 2 studs and rippin' at yer track. imo...

Its a good idea to remove the rows of studs on the very outside of the track! I dont even stud tracks like that anymore because so many have torn! If u do have some that r torn out i would consider burning the strings in the holes to keep the track from unraveling and coming apart!
