robi, where is Tuning Technologies located?

Mark

 

Colton. San Bernardino County

 

Is about 20 miles East of BFE...

 

Rob Tallini at RRM has a set for the Greddy RRE car but they are the RA1 (hardest) "GG" compound TOYO supplied me with the "GGG" compound and this works GREAT up to track temps of 60 degrees then they CAN overheat depending on how you drive (see Days of thunder for a good example on tire management Robert Duval vs Tom Cruise) and I think they are a match for the hoosiers below 60 degrees (where the "GG" compound should start being used) the Sweet spot for the "GG" I think is about 80 degrees track temp (but haven't tested this yet)
Rob moved from the Ra1's to the 888's and picked up almost 3 seconds /lap (888's have a better sidewall design) SO SPAM TOYO WITH REQUESTS FOR THIS TIRE AND THE WILL IMPORT IT!!!! (yes I know that I'm yelling)

 

Where the 10 and 215 freeways meet (between San Bernardino and Riverside).

 

Holy crap! You guys were running some very wicked times at SOW...

Those Thunderhill times are awesome too...

Good find Tom

I am be able to get these tires (TOYO 888s) for sale soon. We are still doing so testing for Toyo. We expect that they will want to sell them soon.

My apologies for the delayed web-congrats Robbie........ I just got permission to post on here tonight after signing up on Sunday (what up with that Mark??).

Wanted to say thanks to all of the people who I came across at the shootout. It was great meeting all of you. Also nice to see that, although I've read a ton of bickering on this site over the last few months, all of that seems to be cast aside once you all come together (Paul, we missed you out there). The EVO community seems pretty solid.

A few people I'd like to thank also --------

John Muller -- Are you kidding me with that suspension set-up??? Totally transformed the Sparco car. What a joy to drive now.

Robbie -- Thanks for your kind words in regards to our car (& my driving). After a frustrating weekend, it was nice to read. Again, congratulations. As the great Roger Penske says, "Effort equals results." You deserved the win. Hope to have more for you next time we meet.

Al, & Mike @ Sparco -- You're soldiers. Thanks for all your hard work (sorry to let you down).

Scott @ Sparco -- Thanks for the opportunity to drive the Sparco car once again. Every time I get in that thing, it impresses. For a showcar, it really is an impressive racecar!

Look forward to seeing you all next time.

IS this going to be a higher priced tire than the RA-1?
is it looked at as the flagship track/race tire, or just a different configuration?

Percy

 

Not sure about pricing yet. It is not my call. I tested them back to back at the event. Same compound but different carcass. Very impressive ddifference between RA1 and 888.

ROAD/RACE

 

Remember the 888's I used cut a 1:25.12 in qualifing and was a faster time than all of the Hoosier cars. (third fastest time of the day)

 

Hey Guys!

A bit laggy on the follow up post here.... Sorry!

Anyhow, we just want to give a big thanks to all those that worked to put together this AWESOME event! Thanks to Mark and the EvoM crew and all those who participated. Congrats to Robi for handing some a$$ out there

Sorry we couldn't make it to the party afterwards. We had some stuff to raffle off for you guys but we couldn't find the "Baja Cantina." We asked around for about an hour and just decided to head back.

Also wanted to give thanks for all of our sponsorrs. Without them, we would have never have put the car together in time. Thanks to:

AEM
ATP
Crower
CWings
Seibon
Yokohama
Recaro
ARC
Project Mu
Volk Racing
Schroth

And a very special thanks to the folks at Harman Motive. They did a great job putting up with/tuning the car (especially when it didn't cooperate). Check em out at http://www.harmanmotive.com They've got a great tuning program there and are all around nice guys!

Definitely looking forward to the next event! Although, I don't think 245's and Tein Flex's will cut it anymore. You guys are running some serious hardware.


Thanks again!
