Milwaukee - America's Drunkest Evo Owners

You have a different car with a different suspension setup from last time you were there right?
I was hitting about 116 or so on street tires and only about 113ish on r-comps. Same car, same setup but 12 months apart. On the short straights I agree the corner exit speed will be so much higher on r-comps that you'll never overcome that on street tires but I think on those high speed straights the extra rolling resistance really comes into play. Kinda how at the drag strip if cars aren't traction limited they tend to do pretty well on snow tires.
That endless stuff looks pretty good if you need it and don't want to change it a bunch. I'm still on stock fluid in the honda and rarely get a soft pedal. I think superblue is gonna be fine for me.

last year i ran my STi, I did boil fluid in that last year (fresh motul600), but not until i got back to my pit area. That was on 265 wide race rubber.
BHF is the only track i have brake problems at, i think in years to come I'll only do 3 laps hot, then a cool down, then another 3, and so on...
Now, new topic... anyone on here wanna come to the marshfield auto-x this weekend. should be a fun time, with the 60foot challenge starting at 8:30am. also we'll be doing some extra-fun fun runs.

So who owns that nice looking yellow Evo at Whitelake? I was working (delivering soda to a gas station) and I just saw it parked at a Wal-Greens. I just thought to myself, is he selling that front lip? I need it!

my wife was trying to get that phone to and couldn't find it anywhere. i guess she was trying to get it at best buy and get that rebate in but no best buy has it right now.
