BFG R1 tire pressures

[TXPD]

My wife has dibs on the three day weekend. We are going to the mountians and so no racing.

I would like to run the SIC but only have 1 SARRC race this season. So, no SIC for me.

I will be at VIR in October for my next SCCA swaray.

Aunt Millie's.......May have to go.
I'm short on SARRC races, too. Hope to get in 2 Labor Day weekend, but I have a chance to go up in a Bi-Plane the weekend of the SIC......

I just got back from a Summit Point NASA HPDE3 using my new R-1s.
I LOVE them. I'm coming from Toyo RA-1s.

Summit right now has a mixture of smooth grippy high speed turns, and some BAD washboard bumps in the 3 slow turns.
Started out Sat am with 37F/35R, and they came in within 2 laps and never fell off.
I had a bit of an oversteer in the second session as temps went up, so for the third session I upped the rear 2 pounds, and it was gone.
Kept the pressures there on Sunday, and they felt great!

Greg,
What size tires are you using? What were your hot pressures?

 

[gcassidy]

275/40-17 on 9" wheels.

Oops, forgot. Hot pressures (as I recall) were 41F/43RR-42LR after 1st session. All were 1 # higher after second session before I bumped up the rear 2 pounds. I'll double check my notes at home and correct if I'm wrong.
