Three very similar length tracks that are completely different.

    Jeff,

    I was on old Hoosiers friday and turned a 121.2. On Saturday and sunday I ran on what started as 1 heat cycled goodyears and ran high 21's and low 22's. I was not consistent on the goodyears as I struggled to figure out rear end grip and therefore made lots of mistakes resulting in inconsistent times. I even spun on my own in 3. (Friday was very consistent low 21's) I ran the street tires on the test weekend we had and ran a 24, that same weekend I ran a 22 on the same hoosiers i used this past friday. Street tires are cool for long races eliminating the need to swap tires but in Sprint races unless everyone is doing it... don't!

    Serge, buy this and you can have a collection! Sounds like the front end of it is in about the same shape as yours though.

    Thanks for the suggestion. This is a very attractive car and priced well for a quick sale. Fortunately, my car damages this past weekend were superficial, mostly body work.

    That's good news. Did you know there are pix of your crash here?

    LOL! And look halfway down this page to see my "pass" on the right.
