RTTHIV Results

[01badz28]

Here you go, final results for the autocross. I'll try and get the drag strip results up tomorrow.

Cone strikes added a +1 second penalty per Bill:

Thanks Ryan

[HectorM52]

Damn I got my arse kicked!!

[Mike Holleman]

That must'a been some Impala. Plus Mr. Munsey obviously can drive the wheels off it. Six runs and not a single cone?
Wow!!

Car #74 Nova. Been racking my brain trying to figure out what car this is......Duh! It's II Much. Great times, but keep in mind that it was not in the running because it did not use min 200 tread wear tires. II Much was running on R compound tires. Great times anyway for the car's first competitive outing and despite a few mechanical gremlins.

So that makes the top five min 200 treadwear tires in order as follows:
-Kyle Tucker Detroit Speed 2nd Gen #12: 35.401
-Phil Gerber Roadster Shop Chevelle #46: 36.012
-Vin Allegretta Twist/Jakes Rod Shop Camaro #1: 36.433
-Stacy Tucker Detroit Speed 1st Gen #39: 36.633
-Brian Finch: C3 Vette Roadster #16: 36.833

It was not captured above but I believe Kyle ran a 35.142 in the run off.

That is one bad ride

Yes it was a 35.1? something I noticed Kyle shifted into second on the take-off and on the back stretch. I did the same thing and ran my quickest, clean run, unfortunately on the second time around I plowed through the cones on the last turn of the second lap. Looking at my third timed run those 3 cones, yes 3 yikes!!, killed me. Everything considered I am very pleased with the car, I should be ordering my power steering rack today and have the L92/LS3 conversion in for next year.

Not that it matters, but 55 was my little orange Mustang.

Wow!!

Kelly is one hell of a driver, and was on R-compound tires. Given that, still one sweet Impala. He autocrosses it regularly here locally.

Actually it was Stacy's 69 but Ryan was the driver under that number.

Not exactly. Treadwear 60 tires. I don't know how R compound compares to that.

john if you have the p corsa's they are r compound, just a dot approved r compound, which my toyo r888's are also

[parsonsj]

Ah. thanks Jake! I didn't know that.

Kelly and I were both on Kuhmo V710s, which are DOT approved R compounds with a treadwear rating of 30.

[JEFFTATE]

This is sooo cool !
I just love reading the numbers.

BTW , Jim Grayson kicked my ass ...... Again !
I'm getting tired of this.
He's my Nemesis.
Next year I'm beating him... LOL.

OK, so R-compound is a loose term for tires with treadwear ratings lower than what? 100? 200? Is R-compound always DOT approved?

I don't know tires and treadwear ratings very well, I guess.

I believe R compound only denotes the tire's construction (designed for maximum performance at the expense of longevity) and not treadwear. The DOT means it meets federal guidlines for highway use, although you wouldn't want to use them on the street for very long. There are non-DOT tires (full on race slicks), but they are not elligable in SCCA competition except for prepared and modified categories.

Hey, who was at Year One? Not me! I was trying to "be the car", but my head wasn't in it. Everything felt good at RTTHIV! I'm just impressed that our junk could make it up there, get beat on, and make it back!
