Re: Car skipping around turns

Also, make sure the wide tires are not contacting anything under full compression.

This happened to me with the old Elan. Under full compression the fronts would rub causing skipping and sometimes impressive understeer.

You'll have to ask Fred, I never tested that one, but I'd bet it's a bit on the loud side...

Re: Custom Exhaust, who?

So you'd rather pay $400-500 this week for something cobbled together by a muffler shop that is untested and that may actually rob you of power?

I don't get it.

Raspberry Smoothie.

Sorry, it's not as exciting as you all thought...
But apparently it was quite amusing.

Picture a large raspberry smoothie hitting the floor and exploding across a full courtroom. :thumbup:

I just hope Tom got it on film...

Thanks Renee,
But putting me in a fwd car on street tires is probably not the best idea...
I'm trying to remember the last time I drove an STS car. It's been a very long time!

Re: January 11 run/work order & flyer up

Took me about 10 minutes from start to finish.

That said, turns out the Noble won't be there this weekend. Anybody have something I could drive in CSM? Happy to share some expenses in exchange for a seat!

Re: Beginner Tires

If you're going to be running against Will and Curt in HS, then there's a great deal to be learned by duplicating their set-up. Especially running on the same tires. This will better allow you to gage how you are improving as a driver.

Bonus opportunity!

There are also going to be Evo schools at El Toro during the PCA event, the weekend before.
