Upcoming Autox at Bremerton

oops, I will have to change that. Why is every group different?

Edit: Ok, I fixed it.

Plugging in our actual pax value of .815 (TO gets 1.000) I end up paxing 4th overall (39.797) and Kristi paxed 7th (40.567)       Gordon's actual index time is 45.272  I'm not sure of Dean and Martin, I will assume a Street Mod index (because of the pulley...)  Martin 46.756, Dean 48.898

the only events that the top pax listing really works is SCCA, because that is only club that exclusively uses SCCA classing, and there are no indexes for the non-scca classes. 

Notice that the pax times are the same as the top times for all the drivers that don't have a class listed as x**  (XSTX or XSS for the top two drivers)

Afternoon was dry and warmer...great weather finally.

Nice job representing the MINI nation Keith and Kristi. You both looked great out there. I'd love to ride along with one of you some time. This was only my 3rd event, so  I have much to learn from an experienced pilot like yourselves!

I understand, It was more of a rhetorical question. It is just frustrating coming into this sport. There are no descriptions on the sign in page so you have to be on your toes to make sure you are in the right class. With SS meaning two completely different things, I know I am going to show up for the wrong class one of these days.

Keith,

I'm in the slow class. 

since you are not playing for real, I would look more directly at the DSP index in doing comparisons.  that is assuming you car makes similar power to a JCW or GP in stock form

What is your budget?  street tires or race tires?

two choices for ultra high performance tires in your budget. 

Falken RT-615   in a 215/45/16  $92  www.vulcantire.com
Dunlop Direzza Z1 StarSpec  205/50/16  $107  www.tirerack.com

both are great, but I would give the advantage to the dunlops

get them mounted and balanced at www.tightntidyracing.com

OK, I went with the Falkens. With the little testing I did today, I am excited for tomorrow! Wow these are sticky tires.

Who else is in for tomorrow?

Keith, I am hoping for a critical ride from you. It is coming together, but I need some pointers.

Wow! huge difference. Much stickier. Now if the driver would just smooth out the line, I might get my times down lower.

Thanks. It was fun with the new tires.

Here is the YouTube video of all 6 runs. There is a little NSFW language on the 4th run.
