Junkyard Dog replied to the thread HPDE tires.From the same link:"This exactly. People like to b*tch and moan about how bad spacers are, but effective offset is effective offset. The car sees zero difference whether it’s built into the wheel or it’s done with spacers." (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread HPDE tires."Anything that places the tire further outboard, whether it’s a spacer or a wheel with reduced offset, will put more angular load on your wheel bearings. The farther the tire gets pushed outboard, the greater that angular load.This definitely... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread HPDE tires.Because the outside rim of the face of the wheel does not move out at all.The front backspace is 26. The rear wheels are 52. The spacer moves the outside rim of face of the rear backspacing wheel to the same location as the regular front... (see full post)
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Unfair advantage.Agree. I’ve had a pretty good run now and now looking at a TA2 mustang to play with. Not bad (see full post)-
Yep, I was homeless for a fair stretch and slept in my car more times than I know. It's just how it was. In the end, you probably took the right path...at the very least, it was the smarter one.I think people measure lives the wrong way. It's...
TMSBOSS replied to the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence.Exactly. Getting an instructor which can assist with adjustments is likely the best way to go. Seat of the pants over trying to understand an issue from a few posts. (see full post)-

Like.If the rear brakes have an issue then that needs addressed before anything else.But I think someone new to HPDE trying to dial in adjustable dampers is an uphill battle, especially when they are a type without a large user base to provide good... -

- TeeLew replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.At that point, we're talking about the driver wayyyyyy more than the car.The GTD is 5-700# too heavy. This is where the next big chunk of speed will come with that car. There's a whole bunch of really cool stuff on that car that's ballast. (see full post)

jklapko10 replied to the thread Track Time Videos.I think I was going too fast too quick and yeah, didn't keep my foot in it. Thought it would be like when we used to slide 2wd trucks in the snow as a teen but I was wrong lol (see full post)-

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread HPDE tires.Any time you move the face of the wheel out from the hub you will increase leverage. A spacer will do just that. Tell me how it won’t? Is it a factor? depends. The fact you have to lengthen your studs should tell you that right off the bat The... (see full post)

The Captain signed my first edition. I wanted to get Paul to sign it, too, but I think he passed.This is where is all started, though. I like that Mark showed some bumps and bruises on the way. It wasn't just a 'look at me' piece.
