That's too bad. I was hoping that was the problem. Oh, well, at least you now have peace of mind regarding them. Quote:
Want me to bring my ZR-1 race tires/wheels? :-)

I wasn't planning on running the roval, I've done it before and it was a blast, but in my Low Hp cars the oval part is kinda boring after a while, and I don't have the cajones to take a powerful car out there. I'm definitely not taking the Z out there until I'm 100% sure it is handling properly... It's one thing to go off @ 80 into a sand pit, an entirely different animal when there's a wall and you are going 160. If I get it sorted, I'll probably hit that track next year with it. I was thinking the June 27th TNIA at CMP in SC, but I'll already be there the 22-23 for 2 full day track days, so I don't know if I'll have the energy to make that one. That's my opportunity to test the Z, so I might try... All that said, I live in south Charlotte and CMS is not that far, I'd definitely come out just to watch if you were bringing your Z, and even if you are bringing a different car, maybe I'll drive my Z up there so you can peek at it, and run the touring laps. Which brings us to the wheels/tires we've discussed on and off for what seems like a couple years ![]() |

http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26298 I was pretty happy with them. The car was easy to drive at the the limit. Never spun out with them. :-) on edit: I just reread that post more closely, and (at that time) I was planning to keep four mounted wheels and tires for my own use, and selling the 'extras' in case someone was interested in them. However, now (since I have a full time race car), I actually have (almost) two full sets of race tires/wheels available. This is a busy weekend for me, but I will try to pull them all out enough to take some current pictures. Got your PM with email. I'll touch base with you there, later. Thanks for the interest.

Sounds good, still a few days till the even, so no hurry. Are you going june 6 or 7? Looks like there is an event both days. I'll tentatively plan on going whatever day you are regardless of whether we figure out a wheel/tire package... |

I'll get there Friday afternoon. I'm doing the SARRC races. Saturday is a qualifying session, then a short race Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening there will be some racing under the lights (different class than mine). Sunday is a longer (40 minute) race. I'm in group 7. Here's the event schedule (PDF download):

Invest some money is some good tires that will work well on the track and you'll go a lot quicker and in a more safe manner.

However, I never claimed to be bright! Also, if it isn't the tires, I don't want to mask an underlying issue(whether car or driving ability) that better tires might hide. Probably going to buy some rear scuffs from Russ, and if it pushes I'll feel confident enough to replace all 4 with a better, or at least matched set. I will say that post alignment, even though it's not a "Track" alignment, it does feel much better on the street. Rear "Thrust angle" was off quite a bit... Curt |
