Actually took video for once: STS championship run - 56.740 - 3rd place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHkrk52Vt9g FS Nats Prep - 56.070. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuvtkUHd5N8 Mike got me by .2 after the first 3 laps then some how pulled a Yanase as its known and threw down that 55.4xx. I mu...

Need to be 200tw unfortunately. Talked to Pete about his 71rs just trying to convince my teammates they're worth the money....

We're looking to get some of those test tires people use then sell, RS3, 71R, ZII, Rivals etc for our lemons car. Sizes would be 205/50-15, 215/50-15, 225/45-15 or just generally something around there that fit on 15x7s. This is our first event/testing period so we're not expecting to be fast just l...

What size?

Sebastian Rios wrote:60mph max for an STU corvette means 45 in a civic...That sounds really slow.

Not if that top speed comes after a slalom that the civic/miata can take flat but the vette can't

My Vote is:

5 or 6 cone slalom
Sweeper Slalom
Offset Gates

You'll like this. They really try to shove this down your throat at the dealer. That's why I go to an independent or do the work myself.

Just in case someone see's this in the future. Sold via Ebay. A couple people got killer deals on tires.

Bimmerfest! How exciting. Get to see all my BMW bretheren! I'll be handing out fliers with Steve Ekstrand's face on it. "Have you seen this man? If so, run away or be doomed to a life of Civics"

No one? I'm pretty negotiable on price. Tell your friends!

My only recorded run from Saturday. Run 1 - 48.435 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUVxCdLY470 Sunday Fastest but Dirty - Run 2 - 47.765 +1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzzGFJqGa84 . Sunday almost choked away the win to get a clean run - Run 3 - 48.964 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icpLXpQz_Ho

I can take the Sunday 7-8:45 shift. We run first so that'd work out.

I gauge mine by performance. For my big fatty car I can usually tell on Hankooks when they need water cause it gets really greasy and slippery and i have trouble putting power down or the understeer is just hopelessly out of control. After a couple events you start to get a feeling for when you need...

Jeff's correct. Laguna Seca edition is AS, non Laguna addition is FS, uggggggg, and both go to STU but really if you're gonna go STU you should really just go to ESP cause that's what everyone else does.

For my stock class E46 M3 I run 255 on an 8" wheel. The response is so damn slow anyways that I don't even notice but they're consistently faster than 245s. I also run in the low 40s for front tire pressure.

I mean, technically no but like Marshal said, I wouldn't bother protesting. But you're not racing me, gonna have to get by off from your other BS competitors, who are all very nice and understanding people. I'm sure thay'll say yes :mrgreen: Also, good luck getting new RS-3's. I've been looking and ...

If you're interested in a cushy BMW with semi truck slow steering, understeer that will make your head spin, and toasted tires, which could be contributing to the terrible understeer, you're welcome to co-drive with me in S1. I must warn you though, once you sit in those cozy 9 way adjustable leathe...

And let the whining begin! Seriously though, looks mostly the same except for most of Street. Which got some help.

I can also help out that weekend as an Instructor or as a general hand. Either way it looks like fun. I'll shoot Perry an email.

Can you guys post the spreadsheet so we can see how we did against our team mates?

losing...losing! MATT dude matt you are the second fastest street car in our region. what did you expect your pax to be? at least it isn't 1 LOL Man I suck at spelling. I actually didn't expect my personal PAX to be that high. But I was LOLing at our Team Pax. At least we named our team appropriate...

Team 10 (We're Idiots and Teamed up with Tom) - .943 Cars: ASP, FS, CST Tom Berry ## - 1 (ouch!) Matt Ales 1## - .948 Kyle O'Rourke - .882 .943, Lol - would now be the correct time to start complaining about PAX, and tires, weather, hangovers, the clouds, surface sucks for our cars, and any other r...

I can take 7-9 on Sunday. I run first group so I might need to run and put my car in grid quickly at some point.
