I wish I could go. I went to Saturday's event at Ripken Stadium. Nice lot. Chris Wollard was there in his ESP Evo.

I also wish I could go, but that's a 4 hour drive for me, a little too long for an Auto-X.

Can't believe Chris Woolard got 1st in PAX by 0.001!!! That's like running over a small pebble.

What still amases me, is that turbodad was able to fit 275's on his car (race compund) . that is 40mm wider than the stock tires. If you assume that the lengh of the contact patch is about 3cm, then he was getting 4x3=12 sqare cm more tire area per corner (that is about a 15% increase in surface area). That is quite cool.

I'm also surprised that SCCA allows race compund tires in stock classes. Race tires compared to street tires are usually over a 1 second gain.

I don't think they are up yet.

But stock classes allow replacement of wear items. Tires are a wear item. But DOT R tires are not 1 second faster than street tires. Try more lilke 4-8 seconds

This depends on many factors -- lot surface, course length, which street tire/race tire you are talking about, car. But it is closer to 1-2 seconds and definately not 4-8 seconds, esp when you are talking about the stock Evo tires. I had fastest time of the day at an event last year with the stock Advans on the car.

Hi!

Thanks for the help Xtnct and nice to see you again Trbo Dad! Fun to see a little 4 door sedan turn in the fastest time of the day!!! Go EVO's!!!! Everyone was extremely helpful. Please thank the instructors and Frank Gonzales for the quick trip in the ZO6! I had a great time and plan to try again. It took me most of the day just to make it around the track without being off course ! But I will get better!!


Speedlimit..
