Good times. Maybe I should've gone to school on Saturday, think I finished in the bottom 3rd.
jrj512- Excellent showing this weekend. I was really impressed w/ the handling being on street tires. You have really smoothed out over the off season. Or were you just taking easy; if so, look out because you will definitely be a force to be reoconed with.
Thanks! I think the new shocks made for much smoother transistions.
jrj512, you may have claimed first place. Apparently that Lotus was wearing its OE tires, which have a treadwear rating of 60, pushing it into SS from TSS. Watch for the posted results.
I thought the Lotus was wearing a set of Azenis???
Me too. There were 2 Loti running Street Tire though.
Just repeating what I read yesterday from the SCCA email list.
hmmm... some Elises came with Yoko A048s, is that the tire he was using?

I was talking to the guy who won at McDonalds on Saturday morning before the AX school. He said that he was not using the stock tires because he could not afford them and was instead running street tires. That is when he told me that his stock tires would keep him out of the tire class. The red Lotus, on the other hand, might have been running the stock ~R-compound tires.
However, R-compunds would explain his times. If he was on street tires (and I suspect he was), then he is one fast mofo. We will have to catch him.
Ken's Elise, the Gray one, was on Azenis. The Red one could have been on A048's, not sure.

All I know, if they were stock (on the red Lotus) they have skinny fronts and biggy rears. They were not stock.
Lotus doesn't use the same size wheel for the entire car like a Miata.
Link!
Lotus doesn't use the same size wheel for the entire car like a Miata.psstt...I think that's what he said.
Thanks for the translation.
Isn't this the same Lotus from the first ER?? (Notice the tires)
The driver of the Red Lotus was DSQ at the ER event for not working both work assignments. He was not the only one.
Ah, I didn't know that. Interesting. You know the Japanese run skinnys in the rear and biggies on the front for road courses. I guess it helps in rotating of the car. I saw the red's tires layin' there and thought why would someone go to the expense of buying a cool rim to go on their spare? They SURE are skinny when compared to others.
Are they going to be allowed to run the upcoming event? How does ER handleThe driver of the Red Lotus was DSQ at the ER event for not working both work assignments. He was not the only one.guys that bug out early?
What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
