Oh is that why the GT3 had them pointed off to the side? Yikes. I feel like a turndown is legit, but that.... No.

Heh, maybe the club should rent these out: https://m.summitracing.com/parts/dtc-772-32520

Ok so given that the SUnday is Fr's day I should probably only do Sat now that it's an option. What's the best way for a guy to change it? Cancel and re-enter?

I didn't see him until after he passed over but if he dipped a wing it's considered a salute.

I had been telling the new guy at my marshalling station that if he ever co-drives, keep an extra piece of tape to cross out whichever number wasn't active. Just move it back and forth.

Speaking of numbers, loving my magnetic set I had printed. Highly recommend.

Another option for those not wanting to stick masking tape on their paint: https://www.amazon.ca/Moroso-35581-Race-Write-Marker/dp/B001P29TAE I used it all last year and it was great. Available locally at Mopac. Only problem is your windows have to be tinted or it won't be visible.

We red flag the course, drivers get out, put their hands on their hips and stare at the drone until it slinks away?

A few mm offset change?  You DO know you are allowed +/- 1/4"?   6.35 mm

Aye, I meant I'm a few mm outside of that allowance. +48 down to +35.

Thanks Stuart, will look into that. Also looking at the Ohlins system as they came highly recommended on rx8club.

I dithered about it for a long time. My RX8 is in DSP because of a cat delete, but otherwise would be CS but for a few mm of wheel offset. Decided that despite the shortcomings of the car and my overwhelming desire for an s2000, my best bang for the buck is to sink some cash into suspension upgrades, get a cat on there and hopefully be competitive in STX.

Aaaand a truck and trailer to haul it.

Oh hey fair enough.. I just got the impression you were more hung up on offsets than tires.

SASC Schools / Re: Dec. 4/16 Ghost Lake ice ...

« on: December 12, 2016, 08:37:11 PM »

Ok, just consider in this case that the massive difference in traction probably outweighs a few mm difference in offset, especially on ice.

if you have the back end with less grip it can swing around when braking.

Or turning.

yup great day and great course for sure. If we do happen to do a slush event I'd bring my winter beater down.
