Dog is having a mass removed tomorrow, so i don't really want to leave him the day after...

Can't make it on Saturday. I haz a sad.

Planning to bring down the BSP car...need to burn up some of the ethanol I have.

FTD in the slush, road grime, etc FDK lot in the F250?

What if we lost.

Maybe somebody else, but not you, Mike!

Damn.

So if I make 298whp I can run "sport", even with 335 A6's, etc?

If I run, you can feel free to strike me from the points. Doesn't matter to me. I just wanna go fast.... .

F250 Diesel....probably frowned upon.

I'm hoping to drag the BSP car down for an event or two at Waldorf...

Z2's will not outperform rivals in the heat.

92 miata = shaved pixie dust sized R1R's...

"Pro" class?

Like I said, certainly not apples to apples. Thurs/Fri has a lot more OPR issues than Tues/Weds. I seem to remember the weather being sunny and hot every day, though. A BSP car might be .4-.5 faster on the same tires vs an STR car, but that would be speculation. I think the tire index is about right...

just out of curiosity, are hoosiers really only worth 1 second on a 40 second course versus 200 treadwear tires?

Depends on surface and course...

R-comps ravage street tires on concrete.

rules look good. just out of curiosity, are hoosiers really only worth 1 second on a 40 second course versus 200 treadwear tires? I think you'd be surprised. The new crop of tires (rivals, Z2s, etc) are really fast. The data I've seen has them coming pretty close to matching Hoosier levels of grip ...

SSC here...

Here is my new proposal for the tire index, building on Eric's TW numbers: 1. 101-200TW (R1R, Rivals, RS3, ZII, etc.) (default at registration) - 1.00 2. 50-100TW (RA1, R888, A048) - 1.01 3. <50TW (A6, R6, V710, Z214) - 1.025 4. 201+TW (Lower performance tires, all-seasons) - 0.99 This actually mak...

Not that it matter all that much, but the STX prep FRS's are starting to get down in the low 2500's already (no driver).

I think I remember Mike saying it was OK, but just to make sure. It is OK for us to bring cars that do not have tags, but have insurance, correct?

Doesn't bother me if the cobras are in the same class as me...

...that said, this whole 6,8, 10 whatever something classes smacks of the every kid gets a trophy syndrome. Give awards to the top 3 overall and top 3 index. Eliminate small bore, etc. Keep it simple.

Waldorf is still pretty small. ST cars tend to do OK (particularly STU) there.

As I posted before on facetube.... .01 multi for A6's vs a 180tw street tire is a problem. Anyone with a real deal CSP miata is going to just crush index. Been a while, but I think the Z would be tough, outside of Frederick, on index. Also, when the F did 251-350 get lumped into the same power brack...

Plane didn't land until 1:30pm today...drove by at 3pm and saw you guys out there. I was hoping to make it back Fri night and run .

Lets do it. Thanks.
