69 Camaro at Best of Show

[Tomswheels]

HaHa! You and Brett both mock the Valiant, but I predict a rash of 67-69 Camaros being offered up in trade after the Valiant makes its triumphant debut. Seriously though, those fenders look mean, and as you know, I say thats plenty of rim for a 315!

Hey, I wasn't lying. I'm a little bit afraid of that Valiant.

315's on a 10.5?!

Yeah dude. Tom and I are among the last few holdouts who don't want to join Rob's hellaflush brigade.

I'm looking at getting a set of wheels that can fit both of my cars, and if I do, I'll be testing to see if wider wheels/smaller tires work better than wider tires/smaller wheels on an autocross.

I'd prefer to join Jiffy Pop nation if possible.

The Ridetech '33 seems to be doing pretty well with 315's on a 12.

Did you and rob attend a hellaflush club meeting yesterday? Sometimes friendly arguing is just too much fun to pass up. All I'm going to say is that the '33 works, however, when it was on the west coast my 275/9" fronts netted me lap times within half a second at Willow and Adams. Do you and Rob think a 255 would have been the secret to making me faster than the '33.

West Coast asphalt is stickier than mid-west or east coast! Just sayin!

Assuming you put a 275 on the rear, yes.

It was the topic of the day on the hellaflush forum.

In truth IMHO staying with your 275 but putting it on your wider 10.5" wheel would have made you faster.

Matt, I'll take a Porter or a Stout.

No matter what, you have a ticket to the show and your driving skill is climbing faster than the temps in Baker. You better take your tricks back underground if people aren't gunning for you then they won't know what hits them.

A 10.5 would be better than the 9 but so would a bigger tire
