SCCA Event 3# at Mineral Wells AirPark 5/18/08

[cone-cerned]

Will anyone besides me be there. Gasoline prices hit $3.659 in Gainesville yesterday. Maybe more of us will change to a bicycle for hobby and health.

Breakfast at the Golden Arches at the Willow Park exit, 7am?

[POS Racing]

Oh what the heck I'll go!

Rumor has it the "Orientals" are going to stay away so this should be a good event!

[CosmosMpower]

I'm out, have fun cheese grating your tires.

They're not rugs; they're people!



I will be there, but I will not be able to make breakfast.

What happened -- did they bring in a ringer for ASP?

If I miss you at breakfast, I'll see you all at the site.

I will probably go straight there since I am the safety dude for this one.

You mean the Official safety dude for this one right?

[ratt_finkel]

Jon and I will be there. Hopefully the Hoosiers will hold up!

If they don't you'll probably still have enough rubber left over to mold into a 245

Is it really that bad?? I have never been there before. I guess I will have street tires JIC.

Depends, the surface can really chew up nice soft A6's or V710's but some other R comps like the RA1, Victoracer etc stand up to it pretty well. Street tires do ok, the shoulders just look a little chunky at the end of the day.

Depends on the car. Jeremy's Evo did more damage to my RA-1s in five runs than the RX-8 did in 15.

I must not have been trying hard enough, mine looked fine after the last one

I agree. It depends on the car (and driver). We'll see how my virgin Hankooks fare on the surface Sunday. Looks like it's going to be a hot one, so everyone needs to be prepared with plenty of water to drink (and cool your tires down)! See you there

+1 on the water.. and sunblock too!


On the water to cool off the tires does one need that fancy bug spray apperatus or are there other ways that work as well???
