If he brings that 1LE to FS, you'll need a lot more than 275's to keep up.

Fixed that for you. I guess the 2015 test, and Ryan Otis winning in 2016 should be ignored along with other empirical results. I'll take it a step further. Many of the M3 owners who are competing...

Comparing the ZCP vs. non-ZCP to the 1LE or PP2 is a joke.

Wheels -- ZCP get's 1/2 wider wheels. 1LE gets 1.5"/2.5" wider wheel
Springs -- ZCP springs are not stiffer, just .3" shorter. The...

Unless the classes are running at the same time on the same courses, comparing times at Nat'ls is a total crap shoot. OPR including dirt line of classes just prior to running, variation of temps,...

I'd bet that if you broke the habit of trying to steer mainly with the throttle, you may get more than 3700 miles and 5 events out of your tires. Smooth is fast.

As a non-betting type typically, I'd put a lot of $ that STP will be chasing Ryan for 2nd and his times may eclipse CAMC.

As a separate point of comparison, the guy who won BS, Tom DeYoung, is a local to me and we run events together quite often. He's typically .2-.3 faster than I on a similar course.

Congrats on your tour win. I was following on sololive. I think that course would have really suited my car. Remind me, what's this about ice mode. :)

I'll go on record and say they have nothing on you. My performance last year should not be taken as a barometer of where you stand vis a vis GM guys as I drove like crap in Lincoln.

There is no update/backdate in FS. You can't convert a 2016 to a 1LE. That's why putting the 1lE in FS is a problem beyond what it does to the rest of the class.
