[QUOTE=Jedi54]40% chance of rain...QUOTE]

that makes 100% chance of doughnuts...either on the track, or at 9:00 when Jorge and Loren bring them. I would like a chocolate bar ...or two.

 

how are racing slicks in the rain...?

 

Lol... thanks Casey. Lunch on me Saturday?

Is number 23 taken?
If it is I'll take 11.
If that's taken I'll take 12.

Yeah! And no rain! Don't want to have to fight rain on my first Auto-X expirience

 

To quote Simon & Garfunkel -

"SLIP SLIDIN AWAY"

 

I don't think there is an official rule about umbrellas on course. I would think if conditions were bad enough it wouldn't be a problem. The main factor is if you can safely do the job while holding the umbrella, I think you could.

I've only done one practice event in the rain on street tires. I was surprised how quick I was still able to take corners. The main issue was standing water in the higher speed sections... hydroplaning is not cool.

 

i know you guys are all worried about rain, and this is the weekend forcast according to weather.com.

 

slick and rain do NOT mix what so ever! but it sure would be fun. do if it rains I get to run on my worn out street tires.

CLLCE 23 it is.

 

Well with all this talk about rain what about the even....is any body taking bets....somone could make some money, (illegal?) I am not a better but who knows.

I will be bringing my BIG unbrella and a few chairs as well as camera and tripod, I want some good pics damit not too mention rides!

 

I to will have a camera and tripod..... but my tripod and video camera will be mounted int he back seat!

digi camera will be there to of course!

 

chairs!!!! good idea! I like yout thinkin.

 

i think i have two chairs i can bring... but they are "FORD" chairs...

lesper any idea on a time and place where we are going to meet for breakfast?

 

well jedi suggested the farmer boys that they use for the San Berdo meets but i do not know of any donut places in the area, keith, erica you want to help us out. Maybe we meet somewhere else...i dont like the farmer boys because it is dificult to get to from the freeway and there are always lots of big trucks around.

 

Lesper,

You and Krazi pick a place for breakfast and I'll be there. (assuming my Navigation doesn't get me lost in the process...)

 

dammit... i wont be at the next meet i have to interview someone for a job @ 10am..... then if he gets hired, i have to show him the "loops" of the job...... of all the friggen days!

 

Need breakfast ideas people, perferably not too far off the free way....possibly the Bakers Drive Thru at Archibald...I think there is a donut shop accross the street.

So I am torn to wash my car, it is clean but has a lot of big bird craps on it from who knows where, but with the rain and all coming I am not sure...but then agin I need a clean car for my mod?

 

what's the mod???

 

I will be on mine rain or shine. They are fine at autox speeds, still better than street tires, the bad part is the drive to the track.

 

who interviews someone on a Saturday??

Can't you reschedule it to Monday?

 

Jesse interviews someone that is coming in for a job.... Vipers, why doy oui have to be there? I just spoke with my dad and he said he is going to be there...... it takes two of you?

Ullose, maybe "street slicks" are differant from the real slicks we ran on the race car???? the slick I am used to are the worse thing you can think of driving on in the rain. makes it like ice. if it rains, maybe ill TRY the tires you gave me. I was really looking forward to trying them on a nice dry day though.

allwell, I will have fun either way.

 

actually, according to jeff, it takes 3 of us...him, your dad, and me....... oh well...... ill see what i can do...but its not looking good

 

Hmmm... I have neither an umbrella nor chairs I will have to improvise!

However, I do have a nice digi cam so I can snap some good pics
Today was a good day... hopefully a sign for more good days to come? No rain pleaaaasseeee

 

The Kumho V710 does not need heat like a race slick to work. Most events you will see us spraying our tires with water to cool them off. The only part they have a problem with is standing water. It would be a good idea to drive to the event on your streets then change them. Dont be dumb like me and drive on the freeway on a treadless tire in the rain, after all I am a pro and it is a closed course.
I know many people that went off road going to and from an event in the rain on race tires.
I am just lazy and hate to change tires at the track.

 

I already intended on driveg there on the Axis, and changing wheels there.

yeah I did notice with the V710's the tread wear is 30!!!!! WAY softer then the circle track tires we used. circle track tires are intended to last 50 laps or so of continuous abuse and heat. they also dont work well untill you get heat in them. (unlike the super soft V710's)

I am still very suprised that you have good luck with them in wet weather, the super soft compound helps a little, but in water you really get your grip from the sipes, and rotational grooves. but then again..... V710's are a tread ware of 30!!!!!!!!! I still cant get over how soft they are. ......... true auto cross tires!
