I run BFG Comp TA/ZR Tires right now so they are safe.
I will start looking into making some type of a front air dam setup that is possibly removable so I can take it off when not racing, otherwise it would get ripped off every time I go through a drivethrough.
Do the high speed guys use quick ratio steering boxes? I would think this would be bad at high speeds.
Thanks for some of the last few posts, very informative!
And for those of you who think I am a moron, Shut up! How many bikes run roll cages??? You are not dangerous if you don't have a cage and go 150 mph, would it be safer in case of an incident... Yes, of course! I am not any more dangerous going 150 mph in my car then every bike in the world, I would say I am safer in my car as it sits then on a bike. So if every bike rider crazy for going 150 mph with no cage?? All they have is a helmet, jacket, and boots!
Point is My car is very safe for what I have been doing, I dont have a roll cage, but everything else is up to standards, good tires, brakes, sfi approved parts, etc.
AND...Mazspeed...Who said I would be going 200 mph on public streets?? I said I want to start doing some type of road racing! Did you mis understand me?? So far I have not done anything that anyone on this board has not doen on the street, I go through the gears on an on ramp..Is that a big deal?? Have you not?? I drive slower than most people on a regular basis and have a clean record. I am not a wreckless driver by any means, I am putting nobody in danger. Is this understandable??

Please do not argue the dangerous part, as you don't have a leg to stand on. You're doing it on public roads, therefore you are dangerous and wreckless, end of story.
Flooring it on an on-ramp with no traffic? Absolutely, do it often. Up to 150 mph? Absolutely never, have to be an idiot to think this is normal behavior and not dangerous.
Oh, by the way, you say you're going to start doing roadracing and this won't be on the street. That's perfect, but there's not a track out there that will let you try this without a roll cage and all the safety equipment, so be prepared and add it into your budget. I do not know how you can run 10's without one either, but for one pass until they kick you off the track I can see it.
One last item, ZR rated tires are not made to go 200 mph on a high speed sustained run.
Good info for you coming now, so hopefully you read it and get the point. The safety equipment shows up in every post, so do not ignore it.
