Leave the slix at home and be safe trek.

Trek,
Unless you have full tread A032Rs, Victoracers, or Toyo R1As I would just leave on the streets.
The 710s will get you into trouble if there is even a hint of water on the surface at Laguna.
If it rains enough you can get standing water at the apex of turn 11...not a good spot for that.
Have fun, be safe.

Thanks, Guys.

I'm putting the streets back on tomorrow...and the wipers...and the water shields

I'm packing the 710's, just in case.

Ken, are you going?

Did they just run Thill a week or so back?

You can run in both groups

Depending on what the future holds.. I may bring the Boxster up and play. I'm pretty sure we have a tech session that week here at the shop. We will see.

Bill,

Can you run 18's ? I have several sets of "scrubs" from the Blue and Yellow car.

B

Posted by: trekkor Nov 29 2005, 12:28 AM

It's 40° tonight in Napa...Brrrrrrr.

Posted by: nine14cats Nov 29 2005, 12:32 AM

The car came with 17's on it (Hoosiers ASO4's). It's getting aligned right now for slicks. I don't know if I can run rains on it after I have it dialed in for the slicks.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 29 2005, 12:38 AM

99% of the rains out there are slicks with grooves cut into them. We actually cut our own with a tire iron (in the past on SCCA Production slicks..like the ones you used to run on the red 914)

What does the GTlight class call for?

I *think* our 993 shop car fits GT light accept for the wheels/tires.

Let me know what Woods gets for alignments/corner weighting. I'm curious.

We get 3.5 hours for alignment and 2 hours for corner weights @ 95.00 an hour.
