Hey All,
I have two races coming up... One this weekend (18-19-20) the other next on June on 8-9-10.
Both races are in Germany - 200 miles away.
I was planning on going to both. The Chevy drove reliably 2x 100 miles last week. I went to a Marcus Miller concert in Genk.
Anyway - here is the dilemma. So far I have been swapping tires back and forth off of my Torq Thrust IIs. Radial Cooper Cobras 295/50R15s and BFG Drag Radials 325/50R15.
I ordered some new cheapy rims... but they might only get here for the NEXT race.
So here is the dilemma...
I am concerend about two things:
- Ruining the bead of me Cooper Cobras; this will be the fourth time I swap them back and forth.
- I'll need to take a few hours of leave to do this - I HATE doing that. (I am basically saving all my hours to go on a Boy Scout summer camp for a month as a rifle shooting instructor/archery )
I can go to the race with my street tire and mostly work on tuning the top end. But everything in first and second will be gone.
I swap the tires... and risk ruining bead.
I sit this race out...
What think you?
Other bits:
- I am worried my rear end will break if I hook hard (I never have)
- I intend to tune reading plugs and O2 sensor.
D.
PS - the TT is one hell of a street ride right now. VERY nice!
