Congrats! Honestly, if I got another CR, I wouldn't race it. I would just enjoy it. With my current S2000, i've found there is a much cheaper and faster way to enjoy this sport! But don't listen to me ... STR is where all the hype is!

Very nice! Looks like what I was doing this week, although mine was too low to clear the stops and I had to back it in.



I used the tire straps as well as R-hooks to strap it down.

Congrats! Knew you couldn't resist!

Whup up on RTR for a year and go from there. If they wind up combining street tires into stock, you'll be glad you did!

Stock springs make for a much nicer daily driver, especially with high end shocks.

Sexy, man! I saw that posted and was damn tempted to buy that and sell my LBP. Save your parts, run RTR, see how it goes and go from there.

Thanks for the kind words! Seems like everyone is voting RTR.


Is RT pax still at .975?

This website doesn't list it!

It is 0.975 for Match Tour.
There is no PAX, really for National (Championship) Tours as its just a post hoc analysis for informational purposes.

For ProSolo, there are Pro-specific PAX numbers for each class, then a 0.975 modifier. In some classes (Ladies 2) they combine sticky and street tire stock into one class with a 0.975 modifier.

Some think that's the first step in integrating street tires into stock for an open class. Basically you get to pick your tires and the PAX modifier that goes with it.

High grip and hot temps? Might want Rs. Lots of sweepers? Rs. Lots of hp? Rs. Cold, lower hp, etc? Street tires.

I could see street tire Elises getting a little bump in SS, especially on gritty courses where evacuation of marbles is key off line.
