LOL! Me sponsor you? I'm broke now! Will work for tires. This has always been in long term vision for this car I just decided to pull trigger a little sooner than anticpated.

Now I'm looking for things to take off that will off set weight gain up front. Probabaly lightweight flywheel and possibly AC delete. Possibly a CF front hood. Now that I have freedom of SSM rules I can go a little more crazy.

Bigger wheels and tires should take precedent over the weight saving stuff IMO.

Who all is planning on attending the UFO event on the 26th? I actually have a bike race the day before by Monterrey, so I was thinking about doing both, and staying down there Saturday night and making a weekend trip of it. Pending weather of course, I don't want to drive in the rain again.

Looking good, though maybe a tad big in the front!

I dont think I could get front tires that big warm on Marina. LOL! I think I may stick to 295 fronts. Last autocross tires were barely warm. Something about cold Cement and average temps below 65 at Marina that makes me wonder if I should super size to 335 rear and 315 front or stay a little smaller 315 rear and 295 front and get some heat?

Shamu is under the knife right now getting SC kit! Also having Rob at Z Car Garage look at rear brake bias issue to see what we might do creatively to get even balance so I might be able to go back to using ABS in AX events. I'm tired of draging smking rear tires into turns. Although its awesome if I want to drift!

I think I am going to stick with the sticker 285's I have for Dixie and D.C. It will be pretty warm (most likely) in Dixie (low 70's is average), but I won't have a co-driver. It will be pretty cold in D.C. in early April (most likely). Our practice day last year was the first weekend of April and it snowed.

Whoo hoo! that was fun! At least I can stay close to the EVOs now! Tell you what if we had same powerband as EVO in SP trim we'd have cars that could give them a run for their money.

My car has canned CARB legal tune right now and I only make 350 WHP (working on improving that!) and was in thick of things with well driven BSP and SM EVOs. So much fun to actually accelerate in straights now!

Best thing was driving up in fully street legal 3200 lb car and knocking off a few XP cars. Better yet was beating most of the big field of mods. LOL! Having a blower is so fun!
