[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10233905, member: 11681"] WOW great stuff guys!:thumbsup: First event I ran bone stock except cooling ducts and subframe connectors on the factory alignment. The car scared the living $#!T out of me!! It went around corners faster than I had ever been around a corner in my life!:eek::uh oh::rockon: I had over ten years of autocross experience and 5 years of wheel to wheel racing in an Ice Car(78 Fiesta). MORAL of this story? These are not slow bone stock. [B][SIZE="3"]I would like to take this opportunity to recommend a cheap but great [I]open track learning tire[/I].[/SIZE][/B] The Sumitumo HTR-Z II. [url=http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=HTR+Z+II&partnum=74WR7HTRZ2V2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes]Sumitomo HTR Z II[/url] $99.00 for the 275/40R17 :eek::uh oh::rockon: Look at the price and features of this tire, IMHO it is the perfect starter tire. I ran two seasons on these until they were [B][SIZE="3"]GONE!![/SIZE][/B] They are the perfect amount of grip for a new tracker. These tires were so much fun to drive on, I have several times seriously thought about buying another set just for fun. They will give you excellent handling but will give plenty of warning as the grip is exceeded and the window of control as they start to slide is HUGE!! That is what makes them perfect, aside from the low price, for a great learning track tire! You will learn rapidly on these, they will be fun as HELL, and you can go tracking a bunch of times and burn up lots of them and not go broke! [B][SIZE="3"]Seat time is the best most effective mod going, always has been and always will be, don't under estimate it's value.[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
