Nice shots John! What tire sizes are you running? BTW, the fronts look much better under load in the corner this time around.

Good to hear you're racking up some more track time, watch those headers!!!!. I hope you got 2 days in a row. I just did a Sat. at Sebring and a Sunday the following weekend at a Land Speed Race near Miami and it seemed like all I did for 2 weeks was mess with the car, travel, run the car, travel, mess with the car, travel, run the car, travel and then finally stop! A 2 day event at the same track is a lot easier.

Been working hard on another project for someone elses car since the LSR and tomorrow I travel again (8-9 hour drive) then mess with their car! Should be fun though!

315 35 17 and 275 40 17 The fronts I have on there now are the ones I bought at a local tire shop when I had a tire problem the last time I was at Sebring. The contact patch of the current fronts is over an inch narrower than the tires I had before and they are a harder compound. I decided to try more air pressure than I had in the pics you saw from Palm Beach International where it looked like the tire was rolling on the rim. It helped a lot! The wider more square DOT R tires don't seem to need as much air pressure as the the more street oriented performance tire.

I'm considering the new Goodyear Eagle RS DOT R tires to replace the temporary fronts I have now.
