Re: Tire soak/treatment for storing slicks?

Thanks for the input guys! The tires are not very old but it's going to be a couple months before I can use them - so mainly looking to preserve them while they sit.

I touched base with Scott - he does use Formula V and has been happy with it. I'll give it a try!

Thanks again!

Tire soak/treatment for storing slicks?

Does anyone have a recommended solution (brand, mixture, etc.) that they put on their race tires for storage purposes? Or to bring an old tire back to life (somewhat at least)?

Picking up some slicks but won't be using them for a while and not quite sure how old they are. So I want to treat them ...

Re: Jan 3 - FAST Classic

Thanks - I have an adapter that I tried once before...but it just made clicking noises the whole time (probably bc it's a cheap offbrand adapter). Maybe I need to try a real GP one or mess with mine some more.

Re: *RULE CHANGE* 2015-16 Season Street Tire Minimum Treadwe

Steve and I have discussed and made an executive decision.
The FAST Street Tire Treadwear Limit will remain at 140.

Some performance cars really do need grippier tires to handle well at the limit. If and when I get a set of wider Z06 wheels (or matched dia. aftermarkets) I'm seriously thinking of ...

Re: Jan 3 - FAST Classic

Thanks! Camera is a GoPro Hero3 Black. Need to figure out a better mic option for it, though. Sound up on that mounting spot wasn't very good.

Re: Endurocross 2014

Definitely had room for improvement out there! Tried to pick up on run 2 where I left off on run 1...but forgot the tires needed to get warmed up a little more! The whistling you hear is the heat blowing full blast...trying to keep my car temps down. Course was a blast!

Re: Endurocross 2014

Great event! My first enduro cross and I really enjoyed it - can't wait to do another one :)

It did emphasize the cooling issue the Mach has - finished each run with the coolant 60* above what it's supposed to be. Really need to get that fixed...

Thanks for a great course and fun day!

Re: Driver Indexed Class? (for Classic "Pro" series)

I like the way the class sounds. So this class would be tied only to classic events?

Re: May 31 - FAST Classic at Brooksville

Registered - a long course should be a good time!

Now, let's just hope the Mach stays in operational condition until race day =)

Re: All-Season Tire Class - Poll

If adding a class for this, why not also add a class for the karts and open wheel cars to get them out of the normal car classes? ;)

Perhaps force them into the "Fun" class so normal vehicles actually have a chance like you are trying to create here for all season tire wearing smaller underpowered ...
