best run from apr 15
best run from yesterday, missed first in smf by .131 seconds, whole class was on 200 treadwear tires, 19th overall raw
I really need to get a set of a7 I was struggling for grip, friend runs sts and I watched his runs in is crx, I think I could have flat foot at 41 sec I get a little caught up on the first half and forget to focus on the back half

Looks like there's zero grip out there. Nice to see another SMF Mini, what's your setup?

You should try the Federal RSR’s cheap sticky tire. Or just get the A7’s

That solostorm looks really nice. I’ve just been using TrackAddict and not sure if it’s really that helpful. Or I just don’t know what to look for.

I was on brand new re71r quite a bit more grip than federals, .the asphalt is decomposing bad at that airfield the sound you hear is chunks of pavement hitting the bottom of the car

Even the RSR’s? There at 140 tread wear.

Yeah the tread rating does not mean much anymore, rival s and re71 are damn near r compound
