Cool makes sense. I don't think I will be buying a setup till next season so I am trying to learn more about them.

Did Button Willow today-was very hot and slick, bad traction. Didn't push too hard since it was my first time and am still a beginner level driver, but was able to put in a 2:25-which isn't great but was middle of the beginners group and I consistently got faster all day.

Except for the main straight aways I stayed around 90% throttle most of the time since I don't totally have everything memorized yet. I think once I am a bit more comfortable I should have no problem dropping into the 2:15-2:20 range once I am not afraid to open up on "Riverside" and the "Dragstrip".

"Club corner" kinda spooks me and I know I can take it faster, but it's a mental game on that one. Bus stop no problem except for one time I sort of forgot that it existed and went straight off lol.

Couldn't stay because I have to work out of town monday so figured it best to come back tonight. Good luck out there tomorrow Clint-stay hydrated!

By all accounts, RPF1's will NOT fit over the Sport brakes, so if you're running base brakes, you're good, otherwise... might wanna do some research.

Not to beat a dead horse, but they do clear. I run 18x9.5 +15 front and 18x10.5 +15 rears with no clearance issues. 265/40's up front, 285/35 in the rear. Dropped on coilovers.

Not going to a formal classroom/racing class or school, but we do 1 hour of driver education before every event. Also, I get all day instruction every time I go. I probably will stick with all day instruction for a while until I get a lot more experience-like probably well into next season.

Hi guys I buy new 18" wheels the wheels specs are 18x9.5+12 & 18x10.5+12... Well my question is... I found a set of tires in 275/35 & 285/35 and the other option that i have is 255/40 & 285/35... What is the beat setup that i can go? I try to find the 295/35 for the rear but i can fin it

Thanks
