Okay, the results from this event have finally been posted. My best time was 59.4 seconds, while the fastest time of the day was 56.7 seconds. That time was put down by my nemesis, the supercharged Miata on fat race rubber.
So with me on the cheap Sumitomos, and him on the fat hoosiers, I got a difference of 2.7 seconds on a one minute course. Do you guys think that going from the Sumitomos to Hoosiers would be enough to close that gap?
I've been watching Ebay and there are a couple of guys selling slightly used sets of Hoosiers for about 200 bucks, which is about 75% off the cost of new. These are tires with about 90% of "tread" remaining. Sounds like a good deal. I think I'll have to put in some overtime and pick a set up.
It would be very cool to be able to put down the fastest time of the day, using an fb.
