Thus, there are no signs of sabotage. The whole point is to make it smell funny anyway.

I'm going to petition the Philly SCCA to make T-SM/SP a harder pax than the open classes, because street tires are faster than rcomps.

I also heard a rumor that Ciro Racing (Rick Jung) is planning to make a set this winter. I'd wait to see what he does, as it is usually a quality product.
I remember Adam running those back in the day... I'll give that another look.

I think you just have to scrub those Nitto's in and get used to the way they feel.
thats what someone else was saying. I think the fact that I couldn't get much heat into them and they are new has something to do with it. The car was way too loose out there, I felt like Foren.

Errbody I talked to who used those tires said they get faster the more you run them and they are the fastest when they're just about to cord.

you should concentrate your effort on TT next year instead of autox. real competitive classing, real competitors, real contingency, real seat time, real fun, real time attack...

Does anyone use a different tire for the winter? I have Continental DWS & others on the forum are saying to get Blizzaks for the winter. Not sure what to do.

Only been stuck in the snow once in three seasons, and that was mostly because i was drunk.

However, if this season is anything like the last one ... it'll be a waste. The only advantage they will have over the conti's is in deep snow.

You sound like a commercial. Are you getting paid to say this?

Marc, you're taking your coilovers off your car, don't talk to me de-modding, biotch.

Also, T-SP/SM run at same time. Raw times will count for all bragging rights, not PAX as far as PCD goes.
No chu ain't.

Why chu think chu only one on "TEAM hard core arrive and drive chu'r DD" to track/autox?
