Re: 2018 TIRE INDEX ADJUSTMENTS

You might be taking things too far. What about vehicle weight and tire make - some tires work better on heavier cars, and some on lighter. If a heavy car shows up with a better "light" tire are you going to factor that all in?

I think you are starting to split hairs, IMO.

WTR? WTB? - Fender roller

Looking to rent or borrow for beer, sex, whatever... I need to roll the fenders on mom's Miata to fit her new setup. Anyone have a fender roller I can borrow?

FS: Drag DR-38s with Rivals - Subaru Fitment

My 2011 WRX is being retired, so I'm starting to get rid of stuff. I have a set of Drag DR-38 wheels, 17x8, 5x100 & 5x114 with the correct legal backspacing for 2011-2013 WRXs (may fit others, but you should check). http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-100&fl=&...

FS: 2011 WRX Rear Konis

I have a set of revalved Koni rear shocks off of my 2011 WRX. These were used by Mike Moran, so they are worth a ton of money. These are revalved with more compression to reduce understeer (or promote oversteer, depending on how you look at it). They were on my autocross car when I ran a front bar. ...

I don't know a great deal about how PAX is calculated, I need to do more research. As a person who is starting to get into SCCA, I probably need to learn.

Re: Should Greater than 250 HP be the top Index?

I voted to keep the old index because I hate Cobra people. I propose a 1.05 multiplier for sideburns that extend below the ears, with an additional .01 for every additional cm below the that.

Re: Bowie results

We usually set up tighter courses early in the season, especially at Bowie with the limited run-off room and loose surface. Plus, everyone's a little rusty at first. I expect the courses will open up a bit more later. I'd like to rent a jack hammer and remove the divider to that lower lot at Bowie....
