Oh, yessir! I already got the go ahead from Greg. He said no one cares at the local events; it's just at Nationals that they really get onto you. (boom07) hmmm....don't see myself going to Nationals anytime soon.DallasP5 said:If you AX in Austin, I assume your running with Spokes, the president Greg Ward (IMOK) will probably let you slide unless your consistently first place in stock class.
DallasP5 said:Which club, we've got 5 different clubs to run with ER, SCCA, S2K, BMW, or Porsche. Go Here to find out about what the DFW miatas are doing, we've always got someone running one of the events.
Oh RATS! Maybe they will trade your 205s for some 225s.Orthonormal said:I picked the brains of another top national Miata driver this weekend at the ProSolo, and he says that the 225/45-15 Hoosiers are much better than the 205/50-15 Hoosiers. Guess which size I had just purchased a set of? :mad: So the Hoosiers are the opposite of the ECSTAs, at least in this case.
Think so? We'll see how they do...can't wait! (right now I am waiting for UPS to get here with my Konigs)Orthonormal said:Your competitors might not think so, but 1/2" wider wheel is probably worth more than the intake in terms of autocross performance...so that's a great trade-off (no intake for wider wheels)
Just went and poked around a bit. I WISH the Tumbleweed Miata Club had so many members that autocrossed. In fact, I don't think ANY of our members do (except me). They more like to take trips to NM and go out to dinner together. meh, kool, but not enough action for me.DallasP5 said:Go Here to find out about what the DFW miatas are doing,
Thanks! I bought them *just* for the lightweight at first. I didn't care what they looked like, but then the style grew on me and now I love em.KpaBap said:Those are damn sexy.
I disagree. check: http://www.miata.net/faq/wheel_weights.htmlTidbit of useful/useless info: stock 15s for '99/'00/'01 weigh 11.8 lbs and allow you to run at least 205/50 Azenis.
i HIGHLY recommend Azenis. Best tire for the money as far as top grip street tires go!! A little less tire life, but it's WORTH it!I haven't auto-xed yet but in the local mountains the stock 195/50/15s with Potenza S03 have allowed me to keep up with cars with a larger available contact patch. Of course, being 800-1000 lbs lighter may have something to do with it.
In the mountains, driver skill takes over car specs. I've had my ass handed to me by a mid-90s Celica ST (FWD!), so...
