    From my experience, TW rating is not always a very accurate metric for comparing tires, and if I recall not well regulated or enforced. There is Hankook RS4 and Bridgestone RE71RZ, both 200TW, yet completely different pace, longevity and...

    Personally, I'd never run on track without TPMS. The only numbers I keep on the dash display are tire pressures - there's a computer for everything else. There are two reasons for that. First, tire pressures give you information about grip -...

    A few of the guys got out to COTA with the GTD and CFTP GT500 to get some seat time in with the GTD. If you are into HPDE, we will be at more events this year across the country!

    Steve is mostly correct with his analysis. ;) Track banking was not a factor as the Road America incident happened on the second long straight away without any turning loads. Although my car does weigh 3555# with full fuel and driver (good guess...

    I appreciate that. I'm an engineer by trade with some fab experience; not enough to be good, but to be dangerous. I created a 3D model of what I was trying to make, printed 1:1 templates of the flat patterns, cut them with hand shears, broke my...

    Dude that looks killer, and I'm glad it worked for you. Remember, I am a professional fabricator with all the tools and equipment including a lift. Who has all those toys in their home garage? Not many. I am continually impressed with what so...

    Hoosiers do not like banked tracks. And by banked I mean 7 degrees or more. They also do not do well with low pressures to build to hot. I find 32-33 hot is fine, but only after going out "cold" at 29 and bleeding them down to 32 from probably...
