bmwohio Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Anyone want to come join May 6th in Cleveland http://noraracing.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4042 This is Columbusracing son!

Why drive 2 hours to run, when there is one right here in Columbus :dumb: http://www.ovr-scca.org/_autocross/schedules.asp Come to the dark side Kyle, and run here :fa: LOL....you never know. If you pay for my gas I'll come, it's a big reason why I won't be traveling as much as last year. I plan on going to Pro Solo at Toledo, the drivers event at OVR (SCCA membership is good til 5/31...win), and at least a Wilmington event.

Mr. Jones Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Oh thats who you are? Cool. You had some nice runs in. How was the course? Lots of cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm_sleeper Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Oh thats who you are? Cool. You had some nice runs in. Thanks! I just picked up the car before Winter last year and did better than I expected. My best in the first session was a 114.90. I think I finished with a 113.67 in the last session. I thought it was you because I saw the Toyo R888's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 How was the course? Lots of cars? Course wasn't bad, learned alot about my car, not really a alot of people, just cold. Thanks!

Yeah I did a 115.75 in session 1 and 114.8 in session 2, couldn't break the rear end loose in my car to save its life except for that "skidpad" area. Overall considering the cold I wasn't too dissapointed with my first run in this car, but I have some things to improve on. Your car looked like it would be a lot more fun then mine.

dsm_sleeper Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Mine car was very unpredictable. I never felt confident in it so I couldn't really push it. This was my first full autocross in it. For the first run I had understeer in the first turn followed by oversteer in the middle of the first slalom and suddenly spund. That did not inspire confidence. I haven't driven it enough to know how it behaves and the cold temps with tires that like heat didn't make it consistent.

dsm_sleeper Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 115? Must have been a huge course, pissed I missed this.:fuuuu: It really had to do with how slow and tight the course was. There were around four 'pivot' cones and a few decreasing radius turns. That kept average speeds low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 That Toyo is a beast of a tire, wish they had been available last year before I got my Kumho's. Mike S. was saying those Toyo's are apparantly stirring up some cry babies so the rules board within SCCA is taking in some public opinion somewhere on the rules about certain treadwear tires as I guess those Toyo's are pushing what a street tire is I guess. Maybe Kale has some better clarification? I can't keep up with any of that stuff anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Not 115 seconds, it's 1:15; still longer than most course designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since every manufacture has different ratings for treadwear, it wouldn't surprise me if they just evaluated the tires alittle differently to make it 200.
