CJ it was nice meeting you. Sorry I couldn't come back to the pits on raceday, I was a little preoccupied with an off-track excursion I had on Saturday. But I did manage to watch you guys from one of the stands near Gasoline Alley. You guys were flying through that part of the track, especially the downhill esses, FABULOUS!

Depending on the track we are normally at about 4.5 MPG and average races are ~45 miles so about 10 gallons from the 15.1 it takes to fill the car. We normally fill up based upon the track, expected usage, not to mention how much we need to have in the tank to meet minimum weight and/or keep from starving the fuel pickup in high G turns. If SCCA keeps reducing our restrictor size we'll be getting Prius like gas mileage soon

Congrats guys!
How are those 17x9 wheels + 275 hoosiers working out? Is there a difference in the cornering speed or is it mostly longevity over a race distance?

It is hard to say for sure since we also just got the suspension adjustments, but for sure it gives us more tire througout the race and id guess better handling as well. I still have 245s that I will use for practicing so when I get a chance I will compare the data with the 275s to compare Gs, cornering speeds and exit speeds between the two.

This also depends on the track, if its a small twisty track where you are not wot as much, I will get over 5mpg, on a fast track like VIR I am down to 4.5. The Evo with Rs need about 4 gallons not to get fuel starved on the occasional high g corner.
