Those aren't legal for "enthusiast" class anymore. I believe thise are 140 and 200 wear rating. If they have a newer version it may be a higher rating so make sure you don't get old stock!!!

I just got some 285/35-18 RS3 with 140 wear rating. LOL

Thanks,
Phil Grabow

Are you boosted because there are some serious high HP cars in "street." If there to just have fun its fine buyout mentioned "competitive" at one point. I wasn't too far off the pace of the S2000s in street class but they were straight up murdering me on the straightened I heard something like 240 hp out of that camp.

Anyways its a great event a d a ton of fun. I wish I could race my FRS also with my STi but without a dry sump she's banned from the track.

There's only an S2000, and FRS and a corolla signed up now. My sponsor is requesting I run in street as enthusiast has no entrants and they want the exposure.

Ha ha I'm not signed up and I'm definitely going. It will fill up. Run whatever class you think is best.

Thongpocket · 04-24-2014, 01:35 AM

I guess im going in street. I've decided on 235/40/17's for my 17x8 RPF1's. Now I just need to decide: Carbotech pads and stainless lines or AP Sprint kit. Also considered running the crawford power blocks but I would have to remove my Grimmspeed strut brace.

For Road Atlanta, HP, HP, HP....you'll be rowing out the window on that back straight. LOL! I know I was last year.

I would just focus on making your car last the event reliability so great pads (XP10s front and rear), 600 brake fluid, brake ducts, and I would swap in some high end synthetic oil like Redline etc. It doesn't sound like you race much so go out with a reliable car and focus on your driving. That is an extremely difficult track to learn as most turn in points are blind.

After the event you will have a better idea about the mods you'll need/want to be competitive.

I just did Amsoil for all my fluids. Ordering some XP10s today actually. I went with the Bridgestone RE11's in 235/40/17 for my rpf1's and I'm adding the Crawford power blocks to help a little. I just want to have some fun so we will see. Thanks for all the advice!

What ride height are a lot of you guys using for places like Road Atlanta? I know I don't want to be too low but was curious if anyone had any suggestions.
