Racing on bald tires....very attention-grabbing!

...cripes, and we PAY someone to make them almost bald before we race on them???

heh

My favorite version of that was BF Goodrich's "The Advantage". Couldn't have been more than $200- for all four. I had a blast. They lasted forever...

Why does your shift lever assembly move around so much?

The transmission and motor mounts on this car are still rubber and tend to wear fairly quickly on these cars. We are considering solid mounts next time the engine and transmission are out...which will be pretty soon due to the blown head gasket... :sad:

[TobyB]

no, cca track days on a beater.

In Pro3, we shave most of the rubber off the RA1...

Nice driving. My first set of r compounds where super worn but they were free.
I drove four auto crosses and 2 track days with them learned a lot.

Oh, gotcha. I'm assuming to make them less treaded?

hey.....Ive shaved my ra 1's for yrs as well...

.....for dry use theyll grip better , chunk less, squirm less, and last as long or longer once shaved.

most shaves range from 3/32 to 5/32's....

on my e30/s50 I can get at least 30 heat cycles...Ive gone as long as 40 ish....but I do drive like a wimp.
