Re: New Street tires detrimental to the sport?

Yeah a set of Hankooks costs me about $500 and will last most of, if not all the season. And I generally drive to and from events on my autocross tires. I agree that the larger diameters and widths seem to get exponentially higher in cost, so a 375 19 or 20 inch wheel would probably be pricey. But a...

Re: Missing Jack Stands

Figured more likely somebody borrowed them in a rush and forgot they had them. I have an extra pair of st...

Tire Gauge?

I left my tire gauge in one of the cones in the grid. It's got yellow rubber around the bezel and a black hose with rotting rubber as it comes out of the bezel. Anyone see it?

When I first drove on Hankooks, I also used low- to mid-30s PSI based on past experience with other tires. Car d...

Just a reminder that there's not much time to renew and be assured of keeping your number. Lots of one- and two-digit numbers at stake. Don't wait too long! BTW, points card listing is up to date. Just click on the link in the first post of this thread.
