You are classic.

Its a discussion board Dave, get a grip.

Anyway, i think you are laughing alone, (at least I hope so) as with the RA1s I showed absolute proof that the older tires, nearly 4 years old now, and 31 heat cycles later, are less sticky before cords than a newer 5-10 heat cycle tire. (same car and position on car, same day, .5 seconds slower consistanty) A pure moron would have to believe you, as it is common knowledge that rubber gets old and loses its initial properties in a bad way. Ozone, oxygen, heat, all are known deteriorants of rubber (and most any thing else). Now, I you still doubt it, take a look at the rubber pick up from the last race 2 weeks ago. One tire black and full of rubber bits and smearing, and the other dry as a bone. How could there be a difference if the tires didnt degrade over time? I didnt put a durometer meter on the two, but I could, and it would show the newer tire has much more stick. Sure, RA1s lose less than most over time and heat cycles, but they still lose. How many RA1s have you burned through over the last 10 years? I bet my number will drawf yours! Over 150 race days my friend and all at WCTouring car type loads

Now, you are clearly a product of the media and should just stick to what you know how to do. Be a smart ***, drive tahoes around cones and bmws into the sand.

See you next month Beach boy!

Let's go to tahoe and do some snow racing in our Tahoes!

Oh yeah, dont forget your tennis shoes. what did i say, 100m dash, you get a 5 yard head start too!

You are funny!

You just don't get it, do you, Spartacus? The more you post that, the better I look & the weaker you look. Now, tell us again about how your driving causes you to heat cycle RA1's out before they cord. That was good for an even better laugh.

And yes, I am very proud that I am fortunate to train America's best in all sorts of high-risk tactical and dignitary protection driving while you exhaust your unemployment payments. Any more self-impalement you'd care to initiate?

Beach Boy Dave,

It it is pretty funny. The weaker you TRY and make me look, the more silly you are going to look.

That explains why my Koni car came without the rear bumperettes, and a scuffed up nose. They seem to make holes in that series.

Whereas auberlen (and to a slightly lesser extent Hand) did traditional late apex lines. This is why he won IMO, as much as the car's behavior in the wet.





Professional Racing and Driving Coach
This is likely to Lally's car's ability to brake into the corner without rotating and the BMWs inability to do the same. They (BMWs) seemed to have to get their braking done in a straight line before turning in. Hence the nervousness you could see in the BMWs.

Grand Am told us we'll all have to run soft tow hooks next year, as the fixed ones are being used to punch through bumpers.
