The Devil in the Dark 2013

Yes. Because it's an enduro.

The tire rule experiment is allowing a very small number of teams to run in an "X" class one "Enduro" class lower than where their car would otherwise end up, if it's on gen-u-ine street tires. The RX8 I'm in would be an E2 car (by virtue of it's NASA PT category classing), but is running E3 on non-R rubber.

How many teams have rigs. Of those that do how often do you use them.?
Does having a overhead rig bump you up one class?

What is the Tread wear rating for the class drop?
Thanks, MM

[Knestis]

The experimental tire test is minimum treadwear of 200.

What are people using to change tires?

How often?

With Pablo, Cameron and the guys always used air guns and nitrogen. Give the tire changes knee pads and if they are competent wrench-turners, they can get it done in about the same time it takes to plug in a new biological control module.

We ran Hoosiers at the last 4 enduros we did (late '90's), we changed the least abused tire at 8 hours and the most abused at 4 hours. Always scheduled so we always changed no more than 2, and always on the the same side of the car. Used nitrogen and air guns. Wanna borrow my nitrogen bottle?
