I love living near Road Atlanta because it doesnt matter what tires I have I can drive the couple of miles it takes to get there on small roads. I went to the Petit Lemans last year and was in AWE, never had so much fun sitting by myself and spectating, I fell asleep there in the stands woke up and kept watching .

My car will be ready by the spring, I will most likely be on the Hoosiers at that point, JIC, Brake Fluids, Brake Vents are what I plan for this season along with trying some track tires out. I also will get a lighter battery which couple with the seats, removing the back seats and spare and RWD would save me about 250 lbs.

 

Which LW battery are you going with??

 

Dunno yet, havent gotten to that part of the research yet. What's popular? I might go with the one Tom advises.

 

I dont know, i figure i'll add it to the GT2, i mean there's not much you can lighten up on that car without going all out crazy like Grussell

 

well you are so close to the track you know my choice........

 

Yes. 18" BBS MS, JIC, GT3 SB F&R.

The car didn't hydroplane at all. The tread depth on the RA1s are quite deep, particularly compared to MPSC. I wasn't pushing the car hard in the cold/wet. I figured the tires would slide like crazy. They were much better than I ever expected. That being said, I'm sure other tires (non-R compounds) would be better in the wet. I'm not sure if other R compounds would be better. These are the only R compounds I've ever had on my car, so I have no way to really compair.


Sorry, I've never had PS2s. I would assume a new set of PS2s would have to be better in the wet though.

 

Tom,
I am looking for a weight-saving battery for my TT. It will be mostly a street car with several auto-x and DE events thrown in to try to learn to drive it. I am in the Atlanta area, so CCA won't be a big factor. With that data in mind, what would be your recommendation?

Thanks,

Al
