This is the only planned build for the 43305 in R20 Compound, CM rear tires in 2024.



So is that it? what happens in 25?

Craig, I disagree.

I second that, but also we need to open up the tires I think. With an open selection on rims and tires, we can figure out as competitors which tires and rims work best for our individual cars. And...

Ben can confirm, but the R60 with a co-driver is just as good as the R20 on an average summer day

I don't think there would be a noticeable difference. At least not enough of a difference to matter over 60 seconds run. On a track in a 20 minute session? that's a different story

It really sucks, trust me..

Autocrossing on a low grip tire will do nothing more than damage your equipment faster. Our cars were designed for precision driving, not drifting. Been there done that, all I accomplished was...

I can't believe no one has considered allowing 5.5-6" rims on the front... then what debate is left?

for clarification: allow 5.5" FF rims AND 6" FC rims along with the 8" rears.

Mark, there is only one rational reason for this proposal.

It's determined in the time honored tradition of political technicalities and whom ever complains the loudest. (I generally don't bother with PAX)

sounds more like the stock uprights. Big fat & heavy. The newer billet upright made by Fast Forward and sold by Primus have plenty of room to install the rotor bolts.

just out of curiosity, what sites do you run at in New England? Ft Devins? anywhere else?

It's probably time to reach out to https://britainwestmotorsport.com and see if get the Avon A15. That's the only tire that I know of that can be cut to make a full rain tire.

you have more options with Avons with the rim sizes that you're running.

I ran Avons for a season on my CM car. They heat cycle really nice, 1 lap and they are up to temp with consistent grip...

I have used Avon before. I ran a 7/20.0-13 front and a 7.6/22.0-13 rear. I got them in an A53 compound from Roger Kraus.

So how do they compare to the Hoosiers? The Avons reach temp and...

I ran a 7.0/20-13 for the front, and a 7.6/22.0-13 for the rear in a A53 compound. Not a bad tire in hot weather. Very consistent heat cycling. Basically, 1st run warms the tires and then the...

With that much change in pressure, I would recheck the ride height and do a full alignment

your gearing is largely dependent upon the ring and pinion you are running.

With the 10:31you are pretty much restricted to the 13:17 and the 16:35 for a 1st and 2nd gears. If you have a 9:31...

I'll give kudos to Keith. He has been my source for brake pads and setup info on a couple of projects now.

wow.. one for show, and one for go go go!

Anyone have a million box they can lend me? I gladly pay you back on thursday

Chris - new edit. Old car is out, new car is *almost* a RF98 Van Diemen :thumbsup::checkered:

IMO, I think you can put humpty dumpty back together again. Won't be pretty, more like Frankenstein, but it would be functional

my old swift had twin radiators so I put fans on each with a variable speed fan controller driven off water temp. on really hot days I also sprayed down the radiators with water

so is that a setup issue then? (the single wheel spin)

If you listen carefully, I think you can hear it. time mark 0.22
