Re: 2019 pax
See, I recall that there was a decree that courses have to be 75 MPH in spots to be fun.

Nope as long as it flows, but most don't come to go slow either tho. I bet if you took a poll of which courses are most liked, it would be the faster courses more so than the slower ones.

Looks like a CAMC can run in the top five in raw times with a good driver. Not saying that includes me.

Jadrice is better than good. I don't know if he qualifies as an alien, but he's not that far off.DiaboJim wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 2:12 pm http://vmsc.org/2018-11-18_AX.html

Re: 2019 pax
I just looked up Falkens at Tire Rack. The Azenis RT615K+ might actually be a decent tire. The CAM size, the largest they make, would be 315/30/18. It has a load range of 98W and a max load of 1653 lbs. Compare that to the 315/30/18 BFG Rival S with a load range of 91W and a max load of 1356lbs. Even the 335/30/16 Rival S only has a load range of 95W and a max load of 1521 lbs. That says stiffer sidewalls to me, which should make it easier to drive fast than the BFG and/or run at a lower pressure for more grip. It also costs about the same as a BFG Rival S at $399 per tire.

Re: 2019 pax
Yeah, like I'd be able to tell the difference. Besides, I need to wear out my relatively new Rival S tires first.
Speaking of which, I'm probably going to be in the market for a co-driver/crew person for next year. Changing tires at an event by myself is starting to get to be too much for me.

Re: 2019 pax
Falkens might be totally different on big cars, but they are an easy 1-2 seconds slower on an SSC car depending on conditions...dewittpayne wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 3:03 pm I just looked up Falkens at Tire Rack.

My car/my experiences...
- Stiff sidewall, but they seem to like more pressure than I'd run with the BFG/Bridgestone
- transitional grip is fine
- forward bite and braking is laughably bad
- steady state grip is noticeably less than the hot tires, but not bad
- these tires absolutely will not tolerate blended inputs
Note that the 2nd place car to the guy on Falkens is the car that you commented as not very good.
