I'll be there Sunday and may have my dad co drive. Would love to have some good competition from other Zs!!

 

Yes, if I can, it'll be Sunday.

 

Sunday it is for me as well.

 

O hai....



Slight stretch when mounted, but we'll see how it goes...

 

I like my 285s on 10.5s. Nice and wide. Plus, 295s aren't much wider, and the next size up (as you know, just stating) is a BIG ole' 315.

 

Nice to meet you guys today bdblackz

 

Win...smaller ones are actually a bit higher on the slope. ~4.5" wider than the smaller set-up. Same size tires.

 

Pic from yesterday's autox. My Hoosiers weren't in horrible condition, but I was faster with the new RS3s. Sad.

Here is the car with the new TSW Interlagos wheels (on the rear only for now) with 315/30/18 Hoosier A6s.

 

Where was this event?

 

Private event, but by Moffett Field.

 

Have car, have Hoosiers, have no Moto GP tickets. SCCA at Great America on the 24th? Anyone else going?

 

I will be at MotoGP - just got my tix this am!

UFO autox on 7/31 though.

 

So who is up for UFO autox next Sunday, 31 July?

I am undecided on tires myself at this point. I have new 10.5" wheels that fit a 315 A6 on the rear, which I like, but I didn't like that the new RS3s were faster than semi-worn A6s. Maybe it's time for new Hoosiers (I did pick up some lightly-scrubbed 285 A6s), but I have also been looking at the Hankook C91 compound, which is supposedly softer than the A6. The catch? It only comes in 275/35/18, so even if it is a tad more sticky, it would be more narrow than my 285/315 A6 combo. You pros have any thoughts?

 

Looks like someone got the new spoiler installed.

I will be there. Hoping to get a race alignment done at the shop where I'm interning prior to and after the event. Right now I'm selling a bunch of 370Z parts for them so hopefully they can make it happen.

Anyway, looking forward to driving.

 

Scott,

I was 2.6s faster on 10 (2 cycle) run A6's than new RS3's. Both 285's on a 10.5". The c91 is an option, but I take it as a red flag that no one on the national level uses them. You can also consider the Goodyears, but they are VERY hard to come by.

 

Thanks. I can't imagine going faster than I did on the RS3s, but I do believe it (and of course it makes absolute sense). I guess my Hoosiers really were done (not corded, but the grooves on the rear ones were gone). I got a bunch of the A6s from our buddy, so I'll do some back-to-back next Sunday. I may try the C91s. There is some speculation that they are not at nationals because there is no contingency program for them. Maybe I'll have them in time to do 3 back-to-backs next Sunday. It's a private event, so we should get lots of fun runs in.

 

Contingency still takes a back seat to winning a NC for just about everyone. If it was quicker than the A6, you would see a few "fast" guys dive in I think.

 

Who is gonna be there Sunday?

 

Might go, paint seems kinda soft still, don't know if its worth chips. Vinyl time maybe.

 

Come out so I can get a ride along! I wanna know what the OS GIKEN feels like!
