Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Ah. I drive an S650, so I did not even think about the coolant overflow tank on an S550 being in the path of air coming through the radiator. (see full post)-
Yokohama A052s were great at NCCAR. My car normally runs a full slick.. I’m new to the car and learning it so I don’t have a comparison. I noticed it was easier to get rotation while trailing than I’m accustomed to with my previous car (350R...

my first day out with the Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS went great - broke my PB at Hallett and then topped that by a few tenths. Very impressed with them so far! Thanks for the recommendation @Bill Pemberton!

Like.I prefer open track. I have a guy I work with directly there. They do offer an annual policy. If you track enough it’s worth looking into. You’re covered on all tracks in the US and 12 in Canada.

Looking at these notes from everyone I will say Hoosier R7s in 315/30-18 we get 14-18 good sessions before they lap time out. So 4-5 really good days. I have used sets up to 20 cycles with out being corded or fully worn. Michelin S9M scrubs get...
