Outside they are identical. Who knows about the inside, but timken has been around along time so should be solid. Rock auto price 120ish.

Had a good time today guys. Chris you are right there, if Gavin had any tires left it could would have been really tight. If Damon and Adam get some tires its going to get close.

Had my gopro set wrong, it was on photo mode so now I have 600 photos of me on course. Oh well next time.

I second that about Emad....you Improved well thru the afternoon.

I still need to edge out Scott one of these days.

I think this is my best run....but since I spunout and did a 360º I'm not sure. I had Jody's ex with me and I still ran my fastest run of 50.8??

Over all, everybody had a great day....Adam and his new ride to break in and now he will be ready for the next one with new tires....maybe ????
Also the guy from houston with the 370Z was very cool and I enjoyed his company.

Thanks to Scott & Gavin to run out and getting some hot dogs for lunch....Even though Emad didn't eat any Beef hot dogs.

I busted out the AX laptop and looked at the raw timing log. Yep, your last run was 51.904. However, it was also your ninth run, which is why the timing software did not print a slip or print in the results -- it did not count.

The bad news is that it would have put you first in your class, but the good news is that you got one more run than everyone else. And the bad news isn't all that bad when you consider that you won the class, anyway.

So, it all worked out in the end. Hooray!

My ninth run also put me first in class, it was epic. Bummed it didnt count either!

Jerret we had plenty of hot dogs. Emad didn't want his.
Stop by anytime for lunch, and it was another well run event.

Thanks for the hard work.

No his name was David Link. He was in town from Houston and decided to run an event while his girl friend was busy at a conference

Cody didn't have a 370Z....he had a PPW 350Z with his RS-3's. He schooled us with those while we were all on crappy street rated 360 treadwear rating tires.

It would be cool if he came up for another AutoX to see if he would still beat all of us now with equal tire set up.
