Looks like they are the ones I mentioned on Bear Ln. Didn't know their name. Have you been there or used them? I know nothing about the quality of their work.

This is for Mike, we missed you buddy.

November AutoX, Last 2 runs. I finally hit a 55 at the end. I had been chasing that all day. I finally got some tires for my heavy ZL1 replicas (link below). I think the square set up helped ALOT.. I got 275/ 40 / 20s they seemed to hold up pretty good today, we will see.

Congratulations on the time Jerry. Christine said y'all were all running good times. Videos sure make me wish I was there. Glad everyone had a good day. Looks like the weather was great.

Nice videos. That front tire view on Jody's video gives a good angle at how much work the tires are doing.

Great times today and I got beat by several 5th gens. I gave all I had but it just wasn't enough. I'll be back next month looking for more!!! The kids that got to ride with Anthony hod the biggest grins plastered on their faces.

Mike, I heard your day didn't exactly suck today but I'll be glad to see your black terror back on the track.

Yeah I had a good time. I would have rather driven but its a close second. They actually have a program that allows you to drive your own car on the track. I wonder how much it would cost to ship the Camaro over for a month or so.

I heard that the roof of the start house has not fared to well. Anybody gonna be around and willing to volunteer to go out and make repairs if I can get us approved? Sounds like we will have to replace the whole roof frame at least. I'm afraid of what we may find once we start opening it up. I'll be back on the night of the 19th. The 20th I gotta run to Houston for the day but will be free after that. LMK and I'll get ahold of Pat and James.

Nice run. How did that wheel/tire combo work for you? Do you think tire selection hurt? Did you notice a difference with the square setup? Do you think you should've gone with wider? Maybe 10-10.5 wheel?

On Saturday I was doing 45's. Couldn't get there on Sunday. It was a little cooler on Saturday. I watched Jerry's video and it looks like HP killed me. He seems a lot quicker when he gets back on the throttle.
Wheels and tires were great. Had to drive differently because I couldn't get traction. Jason said that on my first run that after the first slalom, I hazed the tires almost to the 180.
I have video of my car front the start house. The car looks nice and flat. No body roll. Will have to download so you can see.

Yeah your 1st run you were smoking tires for a while, it was awesome. Your car looks bad ass also. I really like the new rims, black looks good with your cars color.

Ray you are a monster dont ever let anybody tell you different. You just need another run or three to find where the car is happy with the new set up. By next month you will be on fire sunday i bet. Car looks great and with the lighter wheels seems to be gaining a lil pep in the step. Once you learn the limits of the new set up you will be right back where you should be.
