I guess you need rubber on the tires to turn the car..., AX ice skating Options

[nine14cats]

Randal and I were co-piloting Fritz at the GGR AX yesterday and after the first run we were fighting the car big time. Fritz would just not turn or stop. As soon as you turned the car.....you'd keep going straight. As soon as you applied brakes hard....you'd keep going straight.

We've had tires on backorder for 2 weeks...seems everyone in the country is out of the tire sizes we use. The front tires in particular were shredded....I counted NINE corded patches on the two tires alone....the rears look a little better, but they are shot too....

We ended up loosening the car until it was practically driving backwards and we stayed off the powere and drove the tail tragger like a momentum car (4 cyl 914). It appears even with corded tires we took a 2nd or 3rd overall.....not bad for driving without rubber! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Take a look at the two front tires.....

That is what happens when you try to turn and brake at the same time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) No ABS on that there car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I was glad to see both of you get out of the 60+ in the afternoon.

It would be interesting to see that car on big DOT Rs....like the tires that were on it when you bought it.

It will be interesting to see what the final standings are....

Where Weinstein and Pack ended up.
I think Terry was working on a mid 58 also.
Ken Jones ran a mid 58 in his Boxster.

I am still quite pleased with my low 59 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

I don't think tired 2.0Ls are supposed to run that fast....must be the color (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

No, I know what it is....the car is too low, No, the brakes will never work, no the oil cooler won't work there..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
