According to the Tire Rack website, their TR Motorsport C3 wheel is available.

17 x 9 +62mm

19lb for the 17 x 9

Any reason not to get these?
Depends on if you can wait until June for the 949 wheels...

A quick update form the Texas National tour for STR, Matt Glagola is ahead in STR with a time of 82.9. Jason Minehart is in second place in the MX5 in the low 83's I think it's an 83.3. Bstock quickest time for the day is 80.8 as a comparison.


This course is huge and very very fast and very technical . I will post my quickest run tonight when I get back to the hotel.

Thanks! I heard it's about 1 mile long.

Results can be found at the link below. Click on the PDF link once there. They update these as the event progresses. Pseudo live results.

Again, nice to see STR faster than ST.

What kinda hail-mary did the winning STU car throw out there on day one. 81.x? Yowza.

So, I did another event and IM getting better with the car. IM gonna try softening my rear rebound since im a little too loose in slaloms and on turn entry. I did really well for myself considering the conditions and compared to my usual yard sticks I am worlds faster than before. Here is a pic someone snapped of my setup yesterday

OEM 00-01... roughly the same as a CR front bar.

The car is VERY neutral in steady state corners, and is pretty quick coming out of corners, also very balanced.

I have a little trouble putting power down out of real tight corners but I honestly think its the cold, since I had the same issue and feel with last years setup in similar weather.

If dialing back the rear rebound doesnt fix it I will look into a bigger bar but I worry about getting mid corner understeer with a stiffer bar since I am in love with the way my car behaves mid corner
