It was a lot of fun. They do an event there every year (sometimes twice) and apparently it's always the same layout. That site looks kind of cramped, how wide is the runway?

My favorite events were when I was in Alabama at Talladega Gran Prix.

It's not as cramped as you think it would be. if you look to the top right, there's more pavement over there. This used to be an airport and the runways have to be big enough for planes. The main runway is wider than a single lane road, probably as wide as double lane road.

From section 13.6:

A. The make and material of brake linings may be changed.
B. Substitution of clutch and brake hydraulic lines with solid metal or braided metal is allowed on all cars manufactured before model year 1992.

I always read right over "linings" and thought it said "lines." Are SS brake lines allowed or not?

I believe SS brake lines are illegal for stock class cars newer than model year 1992.

A. Brake linings refers to brake pads, as they would be called in a drum brake system.


B. SS brake lines are allowed in stock only if car is before 1992.

I downshifted into first a few times, helped in one spot but took too long in the other i tried.

The STI and VETTE guys were down in the mid 30's though so it was a small course.

Hello fellow CS drivers! I just wanted to let you know I have some used BFG R1-S tires for sale in the Wheel/Tire Sale forum:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...029#post972029

I know most of the talk around here is about the proposed "Street" rules for 2014, but I figured there might be a few of you playing in CS that could use a solid set of r-comps to finish out your 2013 season. Let me know if you're interested!

Well, this thread has been pretty dead for a while. Getting ready for my first event of the season Sunday. It's supposed to be 50 degrees and raining. I think I'll probably run on my stock tires. Partially an excuse to not drag the trailer and change tires. I'll burn through the Z214s this year and then probably switch to C Street next year.

Can we get a mod to update the title of the thread to "C Street-R" ?

I'm pretty sure this thread is intended for those wishing to remain on race tires.

Is there a significant setup change between street/race tires?
