Who wants a free track day?

I know that there are a lot of track whores on here, so figured I'd post up to let you know about a new site dedicated to time attack and other high performance driving events. It just went live Monday and there are already a few active time attack people signed up and posting.

www.timeattackforums.com

Register and post at least 15 contributive posts by May 15th to be eligible for a $200 gift certificate to Speed Ventures, enough for a free track day!!!

Here's the link to more details: http://www.timeattackforums.com/foru...read.php?t=379

There will be more and better promotions on the site, so remaining active will pay off.

I'm also running non-staggered. 255-40-17 r-comps on 16.8lb wheels.

Reasons:

1) Rotate tires for longevity
2) Rotate car for fun. In other words, makes the car much more neutral.

Wider in the rear is more understeer. So, staggered is more understeer...unless it's reverse staggered!
