They should be Nitto NT01 225/45/17, we all run the same size.
Do you have any used hoosier R6's you want to git rid of?

Vince:
The 225's won't fit without fender modification. The 205's are an approved tire. If I decided to run the series, I would make those mods.
No used R6's at thie time . . . talk to me after the weekend!

Mini on the podium at USTCC Championships.
Owen Trinkler piloted the RSR Motorsports, R56 Mini Challenge racer to a third place finish at the NASA National Championships today in Salt Lake City. Starting from the 3rd position in the US Touring Car Championship finals, Owen held his starting position putting a Mini on the podium for the 1st time this season.
Owen won the Thursday qualifying race and placed 2nd in the Friday event. Owen was able to challenge for the lead early but eventually, was outclassed by two much more powerful cars. Regardless, it was a very successful event with 3 Mini's in the top six. Congrats to Rich Peterson and 'Minispeeder' who raced their R53's in the event also.
The racing continues on Sunday where Randy Smalley will contest the GTS3 class (German Touring Car Series) and PTB class (Performance Touring). Rick Jonson and Sara Cattaneo will contest PTC And Minispeeder will return in GTS3.
We are hoping for more podiums tomorrow.

Looks like a fairly good start to the day, with Randy in P3 after the first practice session, with a time of 3:17.410 in the 197 (guess that seat time helps from last weekend!), then Jade and Owen P12 in the 196 with a time of 3:19.768, and something up with the 198, because Adam and Trevor had a time of only 3:37.118.
GO, GO, GOOOOOOOO ! ! ! >>>>>>>>>>>> Make sure to post those in-car videos of the race on youtube!

Practice2 had too much yellow flag time. looks like 197 didn't get out at all. ???? Looks like Jade & Trevor were in the 196 car - P5, and Joe in the 198 - P15 ------ What's going on? GrandAm needs a live video feed. These lap charts on the live timing don't show if a car is out or in the box, or what.
Technology is not ideal.
Good luck in Quali, next!

Looks like 2 cars in the race - Jade and Trevor starting in P4, Adam and Owen in P16...? ....car 197 MIA...Another bump and run? make a note - bigger bumpers for VIR... an hour and 15 min before the race start. Time to change brakes.
Good job, Jade!
