Ive never seen or ridden in this car on the other tires...the R-888's. But I have no shame at all in telling you, that this car, on those tires, even with David driving......scared the poopy out of me. At even 3/4 throttle David was working it hard to keep the back end under the car. This thing has A LOT of power. More than I'd be comfortable with.

According to some folks that were there, that particular tire takes some heat cycles and wear to "wake up". I'll have to take their word for it.

I previously had no doubt that David and Mary are both really good drivers.

Understatement.

Hey True.. both vids are the same.

You had to go and get the one where I over cooked the finish line.. lol

Good to see you out there.

I still need a real alignment.. right now at -.80 caster.. would like to have 1.5+

Here's a couple of shots.. I found out from Mary today that we were only a couple seconds off the CP class and they were on race tires. That was nice to hear.

Body roll seems to be greatly reduced. Will be going to a 500# front spring to help increase weight transfer.

Hey....you spun it, not me.

I needed your balast in the car... ;)

That concrete is harsh.. it's go-go-go but if it lets go then "woosh" you're all loosy-goosey.

But I never hit a cone.. I will take that as a small victory.

Nice to hear that Penny scared you.. those new tires, in the cold, were definetly an e-ticket ride...
