For a given size Hoosiers seem to be wider than everything else. This works for a lot of people but I had a rub against the stock fuel filler neck. None of the other tire's I've run do this, so I'm...

I had a similar situation, high temps inside so I added a little camber (removed negative camber if you will). Next time out my tires wore excessively on the outside! It's a fine line, as I have...
Ooh that's good news. I had Hoosier R5s and they were sticky, but their super sized tires rub on my fuel filler. Seems to me the Hankooks wear better too. I have C51 Hankooks coming.
$50 per month for a 10x20 storage unit for the car (a motorcycle and other odds & ends also fit there). I should have done this 5 years ago; now I can park my street car inside. This is especially...
Jake, you have the nicest avatar.
I appreciate having defrost and heat in my race car. Not often, but it's great when you need it. There's no way I'm going to notice 3 lbs of weight in my car. ...
That's ironic, more tire selections but you can't find wheels. I'll take a serious look at 15s, the sidewall on my 205/55-14s looks ridiculously tall and I can't see where that extra sidewall helps....
Has anyone gone to 15" wheels on an ITB car and noticed an advantage over 14", on a car where 14" is the stock size? A search really didn't come up with anything, and I am in need of new wheels.

Vaughan, I may have to rig up a different exhaust system and try that. I've heard it's a really tight, narrow course, but I should try it before going by someone else's opinion. There used to be 5...
I'm voting no, and yes that's what I'm saying. I've run ITB for 7 years with SCCA and 3 years with Midwestern Council. Let the guys with big budgets run National classes and leave IT to those who...
Sorry guys, I haven't been keeping track of the boards much. I am at Grattan every year, since it's just over an hour from my house. Jeff and Eric Mattis are from the Traverse City area. They may...
I'll second that, Phil has been very helpful to me. Give him a call.
The Hoosier R5s disappointed me with their durability. I corded two tires on the right side; however I was running too much...
I'm not sure I understand this statement.
This definitely sounds worthwhile, if I decide to keep the Autopower.
That's a longer track than where I go, but 30# should be worth a few thenths...
Well if the stiffness won't cut my lap times that significantly, I doubt that the 30 lbs. will. And despite what my wife keeps telling me, there's no way I'm going to lose 30 lbs.! I'm 5'10 165...
I was bad last winter. Didn't read the new GCR very carefully, didn't read these boards too much. I got caught without the required second door bar on the passenger's side.
It would be easy...
Back in my A1 days I found that if the high pressure pump delivery rate is inadequate I would get vapor lock when everything got good and warm. Run a fuel pump output test as described in the...
Hi, I'm new to this board but have been running an A2 in ITB off & on since '96.
Running Hoosiers for the first time this year; my lap times are 1 second better at Grattan and Gingerman than...
