- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Ya, although I'd call it a delamination, not a blister. A blister is a different thing. (see full post)

TMSBOSS replied to the thread Advice Reading Rotors After Runs: Do My Brakes Check Out?.How do your brakes feel? Any pulsing, shudder during braking? The buildup may come off during your next run. If not, knock the buildup off with sand paper, a DA works best. (see full post)
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Ok thanks for the input. So the “blister” is the biggest issue. I have 2 fronts that are better than these so i can mix and match but i agree this thing ate some tires. May or may not run them but it seems like flipping them can extend service... (see full post)
For the archives. Completed SCCA Targa this past weekend. Set a new PB at Cresson 1.7 CCW, 1.27.000 during that event. Turned laps at Hallet, Hedge Hollow, and then Eagle Canyon. Then proceeded directly to Time Trials at Eagle Canyon...- Slow3v replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.No, but I’ve been considering a gloss black GT500 spoiler. I don’t think either are very functional but they’d balance out the look I think. (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.You can flip and keep running 3 of them. I don't think that would be a problem. It may act a little different than when running then the original way, but I doubt if it would be all that big of a deal. The tire missing the chunk of rubber needs... (see full post)
koharatx reacted to LMR's post in the thread 2015 Mustang GT HPDE Build Update & Season Recap - LMR Employee with Like.How's it going everyone? If you guys met us at Motorsports Hastings, you may have met Scott Springer with his 2015 Mustang GT. He was at several HPDE events last year and plans to attend more this year. Enjoy this project update and season recap...-
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.That’s a good point but it’s a $3000 set of tires. I will re evaluate. One weekend out of the fronts seems pretty “sad” but no one said this sport was for the timid (see full post)

koharatx posted the thread Advice Reading Rotors After Runs: Do My Brakes Check Out? in Brakes, Wheels and Tires.Greetings, all! First post. I'm new to the track, and I'm looking for advice on reading my rotors after 20- to 25-minute runs on the track. I recently spent a couple of HPDE weekends at Inde Motorsports Ranch in Willcox, Arizona. It's a...

- EF1 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Trying to squeeze another weekend out of an $1,800 set of tires isn’t worth putting a $65,000 car into a wall. (see full post)
ArizonaBOSS reacted to koharatx's lap time of 1:54.640 on track configuration #4 CW at track Inde Motorsports Ranch with Like.NASA AZ HPDE 1/2. So much fun!-
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Im not an expert on this but i think while they look terrible they may still be able to be flipped and ran for a weekend with an alignment check. Hoping anyways that was pricey but the car performed very well now a solid contender in green... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Ok the “blister “ is on rear. Yeah they do look terrible a lot of money down the drain in a weekend. You sure i can’t flip them and keep running? I’ll check the alignment something might be off (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread Dark Horse Factory Adjustable Camber Plates.Dark Horse R will be more work than i think you realise. It isn't a straight forward bolt on one afternoon. It is also designed for a specific shock absorber setup. You need to cut the complete hump off the strut tower and possibly clearance the... (see full post)
