Maybe. I fit 245's just fine. We might be able to squeeze 255's in.

Edison is right. Just go out there and have fun. No point blowing money on tires if you don't plan on competing.

Question: Let's say I buy two sets of runs. Can I run my "fun" set in the morning, and run my regular set in the afternoon? Or does it have to be the regular set first then the fun set of runs?

I was thinking about doing all day on Sunday.

regular set first if you want points for your class. Otherwise you can just do 2 sets of fun runs

Crazy hesitation on the subie right now. Can't even rev it past 3.5K rpm.

Just swapped the fuel pump last night and it didn't work. Saturday is going to be a busy day chasing gremlins

Can hear hissing when you rev it, so there is a leak in the intake somewhere. Also going to change the fuel filter.

Damn this sucks. I need the seat time in my car, and this is not helping. I can probably borrow Gil's car if I ask, but I shouldnt, I want to run my car.

Doooooo it!

Any experience drivers that want to co-drive with me or sit with me... I'd appreciate it. Need to shave off another second so I can give Glen and Duncan a run for their money.
