It's not too bad. Race tires are made to go on too-narrow wheels. Hoosier makes a 255/45-17 that I would like to try but the extra $75 a tire and being taller means I probably won't.

What RPM did you launch? It sounded like it bogged for a moment. Is there an optimum launch RPM for the FA-20? My previous limited launch tests with Toyota VVT-i on a 2JZ IS300 5M/T showed a lower RPM (2,500 or so) produced better times than a wheel spinning start. Apples and oranges, but might be similar.

That was a pretty bad run, almost 5 seconds slower than my fastest. I hadn't actually launched the car once until that autox. I just hit 1000 miles on the car when I pulled in to the site. That launch was probably at about 4k and I probably dumped the clutch too fast. I played with it and by my last launch I was better, about 4500 and let the clutch out a lot slower.
The camera was mounted to the tow hook with a handlebar mount.

You'll be competing against them, officially or not.
Honestly if your car isn't fully (or at least nearly) prepped I wouldn't worry about what class you're in at all. Just go out there and have fun, register in whatever class you want. The classes that your region are listing are just what people have registered in. If you register in RTR it will show up.
