Hello All,

I have a question about a coolant plug in the front of the engine, so if your looking to the front of the engine and near the left front head bolt came with a threaded plug that went...

Hello All, I saw these washers? at the last event I went to can anyone point me how to get these or what there called?

Thank you

Well that comes out on a 60 sec course, that your going to have to be .120 faster then last years competitors. If they're Pax numbers don't change too.

Ben

This Is very cool for next year and going into the future in buying tires every year and now the SCCA doesn't have to make a rule change of any kind. I'm hoping that we continue buying tires every...

Like that one from mcmaster.com. I see it's only 10 amp's that's one of things i needed to know.

No, it does need to be a push/pull, something better?

Ben

Hello All,

I have a push/pull ignition switch that I need to replace, what are your recommendations for a replacement.

Voltage
the amount of amp's
type
model

Thank you

I created a timeline of what happened to the old R-25 rear Cantileaver tire. I was told the batch that Hoosier made was 2019 in late Aug. and if Hoosier made 120 tires like Hoosier said, then you can...

So, all this talk about the R60 rear tire being so bad is interesting because I ran this last weekend with AAS and it was 100 degrees, crazy weekend.

The numbers are this, with the R20 compound...

WOW, outboard suspension is a whole new ball game, also is this setup for road racing?

Ben

WOW! really? so are you saying 500lbs each side or 1000lbs each side? I see you point but wouldn't you want the car suspension to work a little?

Ben

Came home at 4:45pm, looked and rechecked at 5:10pm done. That was crazy.

Hey Rob,

I'm not sure what your running spring wise but from the time I got my car I've only raised my spring rates by 100lbs from the spring the car came with. So I think that's a good base line...

Hello All,

In reality we don't have a tire problem as much as people would want it to be a problem. We have a tire compound problem.

My understanding from Hoosier is they could make the R20 as...

Heads up but batch are 64 tires, that would mean 32 people each year or 16 people if you buy 2 sets a year would need to pre-order tire each year.

Ben

Jon,

Are you going to the 2023 National's I would like to talk about your data points. I Love this ****.

Ben

Hello Jon,

I have done this and even though I could drive on the R20 FC tire on the rear with 5.5 rims, the tire started to tear itself away from the carcass. I bought FC tires to see if I could...

Hey Chris,

The R60 tires, Even with a co-driver the first driver out on cold tires will be very slow, cones, missing your braking point, possibly spin out by over driving them. 2nd driver on his...

Hello Craig,

I believe the "No noticeable difference" has to do with the tire we are using right now (FC front tire on a 5.5 rim) and putting it on a FC 6" rim really doesn't make that much of a...

Hey Ted,

For me I've been looking for just rear 8" rims and in 5 months I have found 2 sets of rear wheels, were as I have found 6 sets of complete set of FC wheels.

The price for the 2 sets of...

Hey Lynn,

I'm sure you'll get better info from somebody but I talked to a goodyear rep about tires compound and of course he said it's better then the R45 Hooiser compound but it was only in the...

Hey Eric,

I'm sorry but you see that as a good thing, Why? As Jim has said "when the cars are not fun to drive" and Driving a radial tire on the older chassis would not make Bob a very unhappy...

Hello Jim,

Again Jim without you on this venture a lot of the BS behind the curtains would not be happening and the fact we got tire built for this year is so cool BUT...

I hoping your right...

B17,

Here, Here

Ben

Ted, At this point of just driving on the 6" rim and then going back to the 5.5" rim with the same FC tire has not made me change my springs rates by 200lbs? that said I've only driven on for the...

Hello,

Yes, I was just testing again because now it was in the 80 degrees weather and I put the FC tire on the FC rims and they were not that much faster than the R60 that I put on for day 2. I...

Hey Jim,

I thought it was when the tire's would ship out from R&S, well anyways that was my impression?

Ben

Jim Garry text me and asked me about what I found driving on the FC tire on our 5.5 rims to you all.

The tire didn't look too bad and the side walls were not to soft that I thought they could be,...

Hello All,

Is anyone in the CM class in the Phoenix AZ area, I have to work on a Semi truck the whole week of 3rd to the 7th. It would be cool to drive at an autocross the weekend of 8th to the...

Hello All,

I would like to know how many people would feel if Avon tires could be available for the rear of CM cars this year, nothing is made at this point but there could be Cantilever Avon rear...

Hello Craig,

Here is the info that I've come up with when it comes to the 2 different rims and tires. I've seen 4 sets of FC rims for sale between 1200$ to 1600$ and there's an event at Sear point...

Hello Jon,

I understand what you're saying about a rebuilding year and yes wish they would have said something in October or when the last tire was sold, or when the email was sent would have been...

Hello Chris,

I think your selling yourself short, you've had lots of momentum the last couple years. Your car may not change very much I feel because the wheel tire combo is a little heavier and...

Lets All have a safe and Successful year.

Hello Dave,

Yes these are based on results but they are a good tool to judge your results with other people from your region and others (because we get people from the LA region that come to...

Hello All,

So I'm going through all the results because I look at the pax numbers too and I try to put in perspective the CM class and how the class ranks in the pax numbers. So to put some...

Hello All,

I'm not sure there is a car shortage I look everyday on Apex speed for cars and I see different FF type cars come and go all time, so converting FC to FF is all good but allowing FC to...

I'm looking into the widebody trailer because it's 13.6 long? on the interior length. Will call tomorrow to double check but if it's not an arm and a leg like other trailers I may order one.
...

Or 72 to 80 sec long.

I have a 3.5 gal tank that lasts 10 runs on a 55 sec course and will have about 1 gal left.


Ben

Hello All,

Even if you could time it perfectly and get to grid before the last car runs on the run group before you from the practice course your tires would be to ambient temperature.
Very funny...

Hello All,

So they are running Tuesday Wednesday, My bet is we are running in the first 3 run groups because we all have no lights, it's just when we may work.

Is everyone coming this year,...

Hey Jim,

Ask for the sticker that goes on the KM karts it's small and fits great on the front of FF type cars.

Ben

Hello All,

I've been thinking about this after the post about not being able to get rain tires in the bias ply anymore for the FF cars so what do you all think About?

FC wheels they are about...

We all have very little option for Rain tires, I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't rain. I wonder if rally tires have something soft to use as rain tires.

Ben

for 2022 chalk me up for 3 full sets, now 18 people.

Ben

Hey Matt,

The funny thing in reading your post is when I first got my car I asked the person who was running in CM in the SFR "how long did tire last for you" he said "All year long" well in a...

Just before you go gun hoe on any other tire Hoosier coming out with a R20B you want to try this first, I run them at the 2021 National's in the front I feel like they had better grip but I won't...

Ok here's my opinion on the R25 and the R60.

The R25's and soon to be R20's are Great tires, Pru you know whats very interesting about you finding those 2 front tires in the R25 is in some ways an...

Now if we can just run in the morning that would be Cool...

Ben

Very nice Pru,

Although tire life is up to the surface you drive on, went to Thunder Hill race way all last year and was able to use the same tires all year long, "that was awesome". This year...

Did you lose a trailer to, Wow!

Yeah this is why I though of the Spring National tour because people can talk about going and think of maybe could go to such event in late May but who knows.

I...
