The latest event. Good enough for 1st in CAM. Also, some spiciness coming through the finish on the first run.

This was what Sam Strano's take was as well. The weight helps plant the back and gets the power down.

Coned away every run, and lost a 1st in CAM because of it. Each run only had one cone and 3 of them I never knew I hit. Guess that means I was just clipping them with my rear wheel.

This was my...

You'll get smoked no matter what class you're in for the first year or two. The idea behind street class is that it's relatively cheap and easy to have a competitive car. If you start allowing...

Short of each car having its own class, there's always going to be a "ringer" especially in street classes. There are always more cars and options coming out that can make a car faster, but not...

To be fair, the SCCA has begun to embrace the more "catch all classes" with CAM and now extreme street. In my area, CAM is probably the most popular class or right there with the Miata classes. At...

I would agree with the Rivals. I don't think these cars are really heavy enough to really get them in their optimal heat range quickly.

First even with the Miata. Was only 18th PAX when I likely would have been top 5 in the Camaro. But the purpose of taking the Miata is to shake it down before doing track days with it. It drives...

Someone had posted an interesting angle of the running from yesterday. Kinda cool to see how close I was to the cones, at least through the one slalom.

I find that in the cold my Michelin a/s 3+ has more grip that the Rivals, until they get hot. The real difference is in the launch though. I never have issues with the Michelins, but on the Rivals,...

That's a real big CAM-C class. That 02 Mustang should be in CAM-T, but whatever.

I've come away feeling better about runs, but it was still enough for 1st in CAM. This group has a fair amount of national tour drivers and karts and Hoosier cars, so it was only good for 13th of 95...

There's a guy in TN that put overfenders on the front fender of his 2.0T 1LE to run 335s square. I'm not sure about the specs of the wheels or camber though. Just saw a couple of pictures.

If you're heating up the brakes so much they get soft on a 1LE, you're using too much brake.

I typically think of the BFGs as being the preferred for hot weather, the Yoks for colder climates, and the RE-71s somewhere in the middle.

I'm likely to try the new Falkens once these Rivals are done. There's an SSC driver in my club that's already bought them, so they'll be the guinea pig.

I think I need more camber lol. No rubbing in the 10 miles that I've driven them so far. We'll see what happens when I get the weight shifting around at autox
