Quoting from the other thread, because it's a good question that we should all be aware of.

Technically - it should be in a letter to count. I can speak on Time Trials and Endurance Racing and...

So seemingly this means these are the currently available FF tires worldwide:



Hoosier Vintage Bias Ply
Toyo 888R Radial
Yokohama A048 Radial
American Racer FF 133 (I think this is Bias...

Yeah - I thought I'd head about that but it's still a listed "spec" tire in some series across the world.

If it's really not available, that means that we would have to take it off our potential...

Toyo 888R


Currently:
Available in the US from Tire Rack and other retailers. They are currently waiting on the next shipment at Tire Rack, but that's normally a very available tire.It may be...

Also enjoying the healthy discussion on directions forward for the class. Ultimately, whatever each of our specific preferences, I am confident all of our final goals are focused on, "a better and...

Just so I'm clear where I stand personally - I believe that we have what is a near-spec class with 50+ years of chassis to draw from, and we should lean into that ruleset to keep the most stable base...

As one of those guys (my DB3 physically can't get the camber those spec radials want) this one hits close to home. The good news - from what I can tell so far - is that it's not all radials but the...

I thought about putting this down.. I see I should have!

Sure will be Ben, and would love to talk about all of it. (I too love testing!)

Right or wrong, "no change" could still be an option. It's not one I favor, but it's an option nonetheless.

unless... the MAC/SEB has decided that we're either going to a spec tire or wheel...

Thanks for the info Ben, and yeah, that's all the more reason that I want to know if the MAC talked about "leaving things alone" because if the R60 is faster than the FC tire squeezed, then we all...

Can you ask Adam why the Hoosier spec offering for Pro F1600 and SCCA Roadrace F1600 is a radial then?

I mean, I don't disagree with him, and personally I think we should all be on a vintage...

So, I really think there is a lot of speculation based on feelings, that just may not play out the way some folks feel it will..

I autocrossed a C-Modified 1983 Van Diemen on Toyo R888s a month...

As I re-read my own post, it occurs there is still another option.

Do nothing, end up trying to squeeze FC tires on FF wheels, or work the R60 as best we can, or maybe Avon makes tires. It does...

And, I'll start with a couple of my own observations based on this post. My adjustments/notes are in blue.




I think that for this thread/letters - we don't have to pick the tire we use. The...

Brad put this in the "Hoosier" thread, (thank you Brad) but since it isn't Hoosier-specific, I wanted to create a place to discuss the specific feedback the SEB/MAC is asking for, RE: C Modified...

Not at all! I just... without the tone we would have in a parking lot/paddock I wanted to make sure that none of our counter points would be taken that way. (mine, your's anyone's) I think we're all...

Leaning into my previous post where I said "constructive vs adversarial" when it comes to our discussion, I'm going to start this post with the phrase, "As I understand it...."

1)A 185/205-width...

Finally getting a break from the CenDiv spring training/convention, but wanted to come back to this -



I just want to take a moment to state how much I fully agree with this entire assessment...

I think we're just going to have to get on some of these and see what it's like. Another National office employee just got a set of the Toyos and will run them on her Van Diemen next week (I'd...

I wrote this post the other day, meant to post it and got sidetracked with work-work.

I'll skip the intro I had because we know the landscape: C Modified will need to "change" the tires we're all...

So, you're having some of the same thoughts that some folks approached me with at Solo Nationals, and I said "I guess you'll have to protest then" and no one did. I realize this doesn't make it...

Yeah. A Modified.

All listed weights are with driver except where noted otherwise. Weights not listed default to the appropriate SCCA® Club Racing GCR (General Competition...

So, infrastructure is certainly something that needs upgrading at tracks, and tracks/the club knows this. But, we're also not going to see massive change and dozens of cars overnight. But, we are...

You're very welcome, happy to bring it to the folks at home so to speak.

I'll make sure to tell Greg hi from you guys tomorrow!

Awesome, so glad to hear. We were able to tweak it a little and hoped that helped.




Yep, that's the real broadcast crew for the races, so that's "real" coverage. As far as timing, especially...

Appreciate this! Basically the National Staff for the online media coverage of this event is six people. Two writers, two photographers, and then two traffic directors to sort it, edit it, post it....

Hi Bob, thanks for watching the feed, I'll give you some info.

Each of our cameras for qualifying are the same as any of the other Hoosier Super Tour events - two static cameras to allow some...

Like.

Eric and I had a conversation about a CM spec tire...



God please no to the current SCCA FF spec radial tire for the reasons mentioned. I fought that while road racing the Swift, saw what...

It will be good to confirm, but from what I understood talking to Eric and the F-Mod folks, when the R25 compounds are gone, they all change to the R20. So, R25 = discontinued, R20 supersedes it.

You're welcome Dave - sorry to have missed that email while I was on the road for the GLDiv conference. I just responded.


- Jon

Thank you, and i for sure think it can get more competition-minded folks involved. Although it isn't the *specific* goal to have TT drivers move up, we do know that creating a space where a lot of...

You're welcome - and I can see where "there isn't interest" might be an interpretation, as a lot of the reasoning is, "there are not enough Formula Car Time Trial entries to include them yet." We...

Hi everyone,

I'm Jon Krolewicz - the Time Trials Program Manager for the SCCA. Many of you know me. If you don't know me you may notice my join date: I didn't just join to post in this thread.
...

The face should have been (slightly) tongue-in-cheek.

Although it might accomplish "helping" Solo Vees, I actually don't think it's the right thing for the class. If I did, I would have already...

This was my first year running C-Mod at Solo Nationals, but I have 20+ years of autocrossing otherwise and sitting on the grid and being in the car one thing struck me - how much of a variety there...

You guys had some car issue after you scaled in front of me on day two this year didn't you? I seem to remember confusion as you looked for a screwdriver to pull bodywork correct? not saying that had...

I saw 1,104 on day one but thought they said "go" and moved a little before they said, "wait!" I stopped, the numbers were bouncing and then they told me to go. I suppose it's possible it "bounced"...

I am here, wandering around and dong needed work type stuff.

In. Reynard #70.

Yep, I'll probably pop up on the entry list later today or tomorrow.

Thanks Andy! :beer:
