Re: Kumho Course Design/Safety School
For those who would like to try their hand at sketching out a course, attached is a properly scaled map of the AutoClub Speedway lot. Attached is the blank form that I use to make the course map.

My sponsor, GRC in Mission Viejo, carries it and Steve at C2 Motorsports, who races with us, also carries it. Please buy from those wh...

Re: Historic class discussion
This way it is ties to what ever is legal in ST / STS, so we don't have to alter this rule if changes happen in the future as to what defines "street tire" legal tread-wear. It is probably a good itea to keep the written rule as general as possible. As a reference point, I went out the th...

Another shop that hasn't been mentioned is:
Avus Autosport

I've dealt with them for years and some of the people that work there have been involved with the local BMW club.

Re: which brand of garage floor tiles?
I tried the single stage epoxy on my floor first. I did the cleaning and drying prep and painted it on. It looked good for a while, but I noticed that where the tires sat, the epoxy bubbled/distorted. I then went to Home Depot and bought several of their sheets of linoleum. I first rolled out and cu...

Re: Rehash: 710's vs A6
The short sidewall will react quicker than the monster drag slick like sidewall of the 295, however, pinching a 315 on a 9.5" is not ideal for turn-in. The 315 is the lesser of the two evils, but you really need to get it on an 11" wide wheel to use it. Does anyone have an opinion on runn...

To the point, I'd value opinions re 710's vs A6's relative to the number of laps you can expect. I've read a slew of stuff on various forums, but I'm more interested in the experience of folks in our region that have run both tires. I run a 3200+ lb Mustang in ESP trim. I ran Hoosiers years ago, so...

I know that he is nowhere near SFV, but have you considered using John Edwards at Costa Mesa R&D Automotive Machine Shop? He has lots of experience with rebuilding import engines.
