SASC Events / Re: Results for October 8, 2016 event at YYC
« on: October 09, 2016, 12:07:28 AM »
My somewhat restrictive opinions on tire choice for today:
I didn't feel safe driving the Focus on RE-71Rs to the event so I brought the Elantra on General Altimax RT-43s (super cheap all seasons).  I felt severely held back by the tires, they just got super greasy and wore off in chunks from the shoulders.  I think there was enough grip out there to warrant the sticky tires.

I think further than just considering the tire compound it is also worth considering how much tread was left on the tires and how heat cycled out or old they were.  I think even 2 tires of the same model might behave differently once it gets this cold depending on their history.

So often we see a course where there is a clear right answer, and a car where there is a clear right setup.  It is nice to see people trying out different things to see what sticks! (pun intended)
I regret my decision to bring the Elantra today, even more so when I read the scores and discovered I was bumped another 3 positions all the way to 16th in the final minutes of the day :(

Great job everybody putting on this event - I had a blast today despite the weather and numb-to-the-point-of-painful feet I was suffering.

Also - just curious, but what was done to that 240 to put it all the way down in FSP?

I'm just out for fun, I have no intention of being competitive, so I class myself in a manner that won't cause a stink. The car is stock (100whp/2900lbs) aside from suspension and seats.

That was a lot of fun today, thanks to all the volunteers. The old volvo was a blast today.
