Capital Driving Club Discussion Forum

Good times, was fun to jump back in with CDC for the test'n'tune. We sure got a lot of odd looks having 3 drivers beat the crap out of my beater automatic convertible. Didnt help that on the first run it deployed the rollover protection system! :lol: And on the last run of the day, it decided it wa...

Word on the street is TireRack won't be getting any more Z1's in stock before the Z2's get here in ~Feb. Hence why the closeout pricing is still ridiculously expensive. The Z1's, on "closeout", are $50 more per tire than when I bought them early last year. I'd wait for the Z2's. The quotes...

I think I was running something like 800/650 at the time...

Unless I missed it when I skimmed over the SCCA rules....the Juke is not classed. Meaning it did not make the criteria for roll-over safety. Of course the numbers they use are with the expectation that the car will run on A6's...which drastically increase the roll over hazard. It's probably fine on ...

Mine would go like 3-4 events and start to leak again...

No.

I'm in.

If it isn't raining, I may drop by for a little while also...

Well, never mind on the treadwear for R/T. It has been retracted. The 195/50 R1R has been put on the exclusion list for RT, however.

All my hoosiers are 315's, but I probably have some 285's stashed away in the back somewhere. I scrape the OPR and use them. The tires I used for nationals only have 6 runs on them, so I'll use them at Dixie next year. The others all have at least 25 runs now (and are done :? ) for national stuff, b...

I've witnessed the R1Rs serving you well AJ, I would like something i can rack up highway miles on though until I get a set of extra wheels. Although since i have a set of dedicated winters, I'm willing to Run summers to the ragged edge, would any tire in the extreme performance summer category mak...

Not even 40. I've got a whole bunch of heavily OPR covered hoos from nats this year.

@Nathan...before buying any new tires, consider looking at SCCA Solo National Championship (or ProSolo) results. Its a wealth of information on not only the competitiveness of certain cars in certain classes nationally, but what is this years "must have" tires for street tire or "r-c...

Slow poke SCCA folks...

D.C. region has a pretty healthy RCS class (Stock RX8's on street tires).

LOL. Lare Bear, you can drive my car at an event this year. I only plan to bring it out to AI on the 14th and Hershey on the ~27th. At this point in the year, I don't care if breaks. You're more than welcome, just give me a heads up. Both first and second are an issue now :( . I think I am going to ...

I'll just stay home I guess ...

I'm thinking about going. However, I don't feel like bringing my car. Anyone up for a co-driver? I am slow and easy on equipment .

So can we please have consistent rain or no rain at all this time? I wish I had snap on wheels so I didn't have to spend 20 min to change them all out. Also any one know where I can get 100+ Unleaded ? Might pick some up so I can run my "Race" tune Sunoco on 40 or myersville. It's a quite...

Ed, how large is the $185 spot?

Wampler put the smack down..... .

The Evo school is excellent....highly recommended. WDCR puts on schools too, but I've never been. BMW club does one too. Thanks. It looks like there are no Evo classes for the rest of this year in the area. I'll have to look at other options. If there is enough interest I'm sure Junior would put an...

I was thinking that riding a bicycle through the course (as opposed to walking it) could help memory. -scheherazade I don't what CDC says about that, but it is strictly forbidden at SCCA events. The way I learned to go fast early was one of necessity. My car rarely makes 3-4 runs before breaking. :(

Not concerned...just seeking some clarity.

Are Karts even allowed? I though both karts and non-dot tires weren't permitted? I ask because I see Franklin and Newman are both registered with KM's.

I only have the one, but let me know.
