Yeah, seeing that tire in the air is impressive to say the least!

Sticky, but not "crazy Hoosier sticky".
Well, I see us ordering some of those.

Very cool Steve and welcome Nick. It must be fun to beat on other peoples toys!:thumbsup:

That is awesome! Thanks for the car porn Steve.:cheers:

Having only done small slalom in autocross, is 420' and 70' spacing a slalom standard?

I think I'll be shoveling snow off the walks doing a slalom until spring.

It's common for us. Motor trend does a 600-ft slalom since they test newer cars. You DON'T want to do a 600 foot with a 32 Roadster or a stock Chevelle. WAY too much speed. lol

But 420 is pretty common.

I was trying to find a dealer for them. Do you have someone? Tire Rack does not list them and my supplier is not carrying them either. Wondering how they comare price wise to others.

Also, you meant 100 treadwear, not 200. I suffer from fat finger syndrome to. I have a project we would like to try them on. Was going to run Pilot Sport Cup tires, (80 treadwear) but these are a bit better treadwear, I don't think PS Cups will make it through our test drive process, LOL!

Steve and Mark:

I'm really looking forward to seeing how much speed you can squeeze out of that 3-Link and front Sub-Frame.

Congratulations to you both (And the Driver) for a great performance.

How about about the 600 foot next time???

You could always slow down if you missed a cone?:unibrow:

Anyway, Well Done!

TY
