The Official 370Z Autocross Thread

Autox schools will put a lot more wear on the tires than just a normal event will. This is especially true for national events where you only get three runs

Get new tires (RE-71R's or Rival S's) and get back out there.

A little 2 wheel fun from this last weekends ProSolo in Wilmington. Didn't even realize I was bicycling until I saw this picture.

Hah awesome shot... just signed up for the DC Championship Tour. I know I've asked before, but what wheel/tire setup are you running? I really have to invest in some slicks soon to start being competitive in ASP. Locally I can get away with my square 295 R888 setup for now.

Just looked at the entry list for the DC Tour. You've got some strong competition with Rogerson/Janveaux and the Hockenbury's there. Good luck.

Thanks! I'm gonna get my a$$ handed to me being on R888's, but it'll be a good experience. Next year I plan on coming with a stronger wheel/tire setup and more seat time. Just did Evo School phase 1 and I'll get phase 2 in next year. Felt like it helped my driving plenty. We'll see what I can apply this weekend.
