so far they haven't complained

 

Some groups won't. Not sure who they are. Redline is pretty loose. You can actually run with your regular seat belts.

 

tuls, you drive i'll ride.

 

ha ha sounds good... straight through?

 

i did it a last March from Clt to San Fran with a co-driver and a short stop at the canyon. Road warrior here. kind of a lead foot though.

 

Kind of a ?
Will I see you at VIR this weekend with THSCC ?

 

It is almost time. I just broke out a fresh tub of non-fat yogurt.

 

you runnig tech ra's? I'm thinking about a set for autox

 

Don't. They absolutely suck for Auto-X. Takes too long to warm up. Good for the track after about 2-3 laps.

 

good info, thanks.

 

Let me rephrase that. They are better then street. And last I checked Tire Rack had some good deals on some sizes. But AutoX is not this tire's strength. Hope that makes sense.

 

DK stone, i'll be at CMP fri-sun with the NASA south east boys and girl. I'll be at VIR later this month with NASA mid-atl and Tarheel BMW and next month with Trackdaze. If i don't blow up that is.

 

right. Alex told me they'd work great for auto-x. I have RE01R's...I want something a step better. Looks like I should wait for the Toyo R1R or run NT02's

 

Don't know what the prices are like, but you can't go wrong with Hoosier's if you got the funds. I ran a set for a season. Don't remember the model #, but that was before the separated into track and auto-x compounds. Those things were amazing. Lasted a while, also. Stuck like glue. I would go for a set of A6's. They should be good for about 8-10 events / 10-11 runs each.

 

yeah....$200+/tire. I'm inclined to give the budget ones a whirl. my wife will be driving her own heats in my car, so 2x the wear

 

I did that on the Hoosiers. The wife co-drove. So each event was 22 runs. I got either 5 or 6 events out of them. Of course it was a track compound so I am sure it lasted longer due to that. How much do all those others run?

 

Forgot to mention. I got the Hoosiers on Ebay for $300. The things had 1 heat cycle on them. Still had the stickers in the groove. Best deal I ever had.

 

$130/ea vs. $210/ea for Hoosiers

 

Going for 17's, are ya?

 

15"

 

Cool. That's what I run. Got with 225 though. Way worth it.

 

that's the plan...width/offset on the wheels? that's what I'm sorting out now....to make sure I can make them fit.

 

Great I will see you for the NASA-MA event will only be attending Sat/Sun have to finish a project that Friday in NY, hope your motor holds up this time.

 

I run Tech Rs 215/16- they're good enough for 1st in DSP against a field of 8 (fwiw). Seems like the RAs would be even better. I went with the Rs for longevity.

Of course I'd love some hoosiers.

 

I run the Kosei TS 15x7s ET 38. They just barely clear my JCW BBK. Although they almost didn't last time out. Almost lost a wheel.
