Re: Stock Street Tire Idea?
They are looking at evidence that suggests there isn't a market for the class. Here's one of my big questions: what evidence? Is it based purely on the number of letters the SEB gets, as Jason seems to suggest? Are they looking at the national-style events that have allowed SK competitors? Has ther...

Re: SCCA Lincoln ProSolo - Results
I've always LFB'd my automatic trans cars (30 years since I've had a manual daily driver) so you'd think transitioning to LFB in my autocross car would be relatively seamless. That hasn't been the case. It's particularly difficult in hard breaking situations where I instictively put my right foot o...

Re: SCCA Lincoln ProSolo - Results
How are you guys calculating/predicting the benefits from LFB? If it's worth 1/2 second, I'd switch. Corner to corner DL1 data between Toby and I with the throttle and brake logged. There IS time lost in the moving the foot or the getting off the gas to hit the brake, but I usually lose that becaus...

Re: SCCA Lincoln ProSolo - Results
I have racing shoes, GM was apparently more impressed with designing for heel and toe, which my peddles are well set for. It kills me to leave what I see as two or three seconds a run on the course because my feet get in the way. A lot of the fast guys right foot brake, Toby certainly does. It's pr...

You don't drive for Tom and NOT left foot brake... I think he asks me at every event, "Are you left foot braking?" :D Mark D. Certainly faster if you can actually fit both feet on the peddles. I haven't figured out how to shove two size 13's that close. Unfortunately it looks like the dat...

At what point did you make your mistake and what was it? Obviously I am a piker at this but looked like a really good run from what I saw. By the way although I find the car image funky, I appreciate your posting the run with data, as I am sure Randy does. Would love to see a post on how (generical...

It's almost June - do you really want to drop hundreds of dollars on parts for a car you intend to replace in just a few months? You're just going to spend a lot of time and hassle sourcing and installing them only to turn around and take it all off, hassle with selling it all, taking a loss, then ...
