hmmm... but I am not coming back to Orbit after event - headed back to Virginia. I am sure someone at Sebring can bring them back for you.

Bring those sticky tires big boy.
Standard GT3 is faster at Sebring than GT3 RS.

Next time you would be bringing a slower car, and I might be bringing a pair of turbochargers added to the V8 on a lighter body and some fancy doors.

I can't drive to Sebring for 120 miles on slicks or A6, sold my trailer, have SUV, have tow package, Fiat won't fit on u-haul, street tires would have to do.

It's is just a DE, so we are just having fun. Hoosier for DE are an overkill.

Trailex or Featherlight? . You know I could have left my trailer at Orbit when I dropped the 3 if I had known you needed it.

January on Hoosier A6, 8 mph faster between T16 and T17. April on Pirelli DH slicks (same compound as used in the Fiat Challenge and the World Challenge), 0.5 secs faster lap times but lower speeds everywhere. In January the car got to 157mph, in April just 149mph.

The biggest difference was that in January my brake pads were not working at all, so I needed to stop early, and still I was missing my braking marks, but speeds were higher despite the early braking. Speed in turns is about the same, with g-forces showing better numbers in the A6 for 2 laps, then g-forces doing better in the Pirelli for laps 3 and up.

Amazing tire knowledge.

Pirelli also makes the DM (Medium compound), DS (Soft compound) and DSS (Super Soft compound), so I guess that literally the softer the compound the slower the tire

Eddie put street tires and run with me in the Cup of Coffee. 2:25-2:30 bracket group, the mdrums and the deputydog might join us as well.

I don't think we would see any SuperSolo driver running in the Platinum Cup this weekend, so it is Gold Cup, Coffee Cup, and Moving Chicane Cup if 85Gold shows up with any of his cars (except 6GT3).

I have Nitto Invos as my street tires, and don't want to kill them either ....

Working on my last set of RA-1s, let's see how it goes.
