  • autocross past weekend

    did pretty well for the first time running the camaro. i came about 6 seconds slower then the really fast guys. not too bad considering i only have ss sway bars and strut tower bar done with suspension. by the end of the day i was pulling consistent times but i still left alot of time on the clock im gonna do some preventative stuff before the next autocross and gotta not be quite so gental next time. also im gonna get all the tire shine off of my tires to give me some more grip.well her is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhmlA...er_profilepage

      thanks i got some of it off at the track but not all of it. i probably could have held it more flat footed through the slolems but i never re compensated for the tire shine comming off. i think i ran 30 up front and 25 in the rear. i did not have a problem with any tire roll. as you can see i did have problems with not having enough traction.

        in my opinion that seems a little low. the years i ran 300 treadwear street tires i would be aound 35 front and 31 rear. with race tires i run about 32 front and 29 rear. race tire can be run a litle lower than streets. i would try pumping them up a tad and so how it handles

          i started out at 35 psi all the way around then i tuned it down from there. as far as tread wear my tires did not roll at all so im pretty sure im not too low. and these tires are supposed to have soft sidewalls. there fuzion zri 275/40/17.
