Re: how high to raise my car?
I gotz mad photoz skillz yo! Mako needs to teach me how to take a picture although I don't think a black car with black tires in pitch dark is a good photo subject. :lol: In many ways the thumbnails are easier to see. You can see where my fender rubbed off the oil/shiny stuff they put on new tires. ...

how high to raise my car?
My car was lowered almost an inch in the front and almost 2 inches in the back. I knew my 245/45/17's would fit, it is just would they fit with the suspension set where it is. I had shorter then stock tires on it when it was dropped (actually I never "lowered" it. The coilovers came that w...

Re: What exactly is needed to put on an event?
So I have some places I could possibly do it, I could find a club with insurance but this whole thread make me think of something I was not as aware of before; Do I really want to be responsible for a large group of reckless idiots? :shock: Race legal controls them with about 5-10 off duty volunteer...

Question about the event on the 4th
it says "Pre-registration is not available for this event."
What does that mean? Do I still mail a check to the address as usual?

Drifting---Screwing up a corner on purpose to wear out your tires faster.

One of the STU guys at the tour had a set of lightly used 245-40-17 specs for sale used, like $150 for the set. They were on azsolo.com, I think he is also coming to the Pro.

4 NEW 225/45R17 Dunlop Direzza Z1's $400
I was going to buy these but instead got a set of wider BS 01's. Hopefully someone here will find this useful. This is not my set of tires! I do not know the person selling them. I just thought someone might want these, they are a great buy! Link: http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/pts/1046191147.ht...

Re: What exactly is needed to put on an event?
They got the boot from Qualcomm a few years back when they were running an event on the other side of the stadium from the SCCA natl tour. That event ended with a car in a tree. :shock: Often they are not good renters (sure there are good groups, only takes one bad one to kill it for them all). The...

Re: What exactly is needed to put on an event?
The drift guys have been kicked out of Qualcomm, Fontana and I think El Toro as well. I think you would have a hard time getting on those sites even with a non-profit event. Your time might be better spent working to get some of those people to come to one of the many events that is already being h...

Re: staggering tires?
Get the Bridgestone on sale. The correctly sized Dunlops are faster, but not by huge amounts and they don't last as long. A 245 BS is going to be faster than a 225 Z1. btw: I did not know that size made that much of a difference. Look at the difference between 225 and 245 on a ruler. It is only 0.7...
