    First of all, wanted to say thank you to everyone here for all the help with Mustang.My daughter still is driving it on the street, but for the track, she progressed to Thunder Roadster (https://www.instagram.com/belladonna_racing/) which has only 120hp to the wheel, but it is 1500lb with a...

    recommendation for track tires for a beginner

    ;)Follow up question. There is 8/32 thread left and Costco claim that it is fine to run only one new tire, thoughts? (other tire looks very similar minus missing rubber). Going forward these will be street tires only.Thanks.

    recommendation for track tires for a beginner

    It was a very hot weekend at thunderhill. There was a lot of rubber flying around, so I think it is just heat. Strange that it is on one tire only, but since it is consistent around the tire in multiple places in the same grove, I don’t think that it is mechanical...

    Missing rubber just on one (front), but in 6-7 places. Costco agreed to replace that tire under warranty ;).

    One of my daughter's S04 after 6 days of track (including couple days of 110 at Thunderhill). Other look similar but no damage.At the end, thanks for all the discussions and I ended up ordering Federal 595RS-RR for her.

    recommendation for track tires for a beginner

    I am looking for a recommendation for track tires for a beginner.My daughter is starting to track her Mustang and after 6 days on track she is progressing nicely. At this point she is simply melting her Potenza S04 (it was 110 at Thunderhill today).I have set of 19x10 rims and I am thinking...

    Recommendation for a tow hook

    Completely agree, now, let's continue with more trig. At the connection to the splitter arm we can split angular force (T) into horizontal and vertical component. Horizontal component is irrelevant since metal has very high tensile strength. Vertical component is the one which create bending...

    Recommendation for a tow hook

    That's the reason I post questions ;) And I really really appreciate all the help.The person you are talking about is probably @AJ Hartman. He has great videos about aero dynamics. We are in the process of making the splitter, so we are using cables during the prototyping/modifications, at...

    Recommendation for a tow hook
