    Pulled down my 2nd 70 hour week in a row.

    Oddly enough I find comfort in knowing I haven't touched/seen my car since Hallett.

    Planning on heading to the shop to finish the brake upgrade on the trailer. Also, depending on timing, will start cutting AI #67 apart for the decoupled 3-link. The torque arm will remain in the car until the 3 link is fully ready. It's much easier to cover a hole and run an old design than remove the old design, have the hole, and nothing to tie it all together...

    Also will be taking delivery of a 2015 Explorer Sport next week (Thanks to Dave Irwin at Tyler Ford!!!)... Will be interesting to see how fast Trina's "daily driver" will be compared to Michael's '09 Mustang after it gets a tune and puts 335HP and 375TQ to all four tires...

    That's why you never let your anger overcome your common sense. Sad day for both parties. Bad thing is Stewart has to live with himself.

    Took my car out to the Texas A&M Sports Car Club practice autocross on Saturday for some shake down runs. New motor felt strong and the car had some decent grip despite being on 3 year old RA1s. Big thanks to Gary for loaning my his trailer on short notice.

    Still have a few odds and ends to finish up, buy a new(ish) trailer, and head to the dyno. Looking forward to getting back on track later this year.

    Glad to have you back... I was getting too close to the front.

    I think you are trying to say 3yr old RA1's>Sticker RR's

    I will need to buy a set of tires soon enough... what's the consensus RA1 or RR? I just think it's going to rain every race.

    I was thinking the same question Dave. I was baffled at Hallett when the car felt worse than in the previous years, my times were about .5-.75 slower than the previous 3 years. Then I read that all the TT guys were killing their track records b/c of the new track surface this year.
    Did anyone feel the RR's were faster? Could it be the RR's are faster on some tracks but slower on other tracks?

    I do not claim to know anything about tire compounds but I know Bryan Curtis switched back to RA1's for both races Sunday and he said they felt better than his newer RR's. My RA1's have over 3 full events on them, and if they had been newer I would have definitely given them a shot to compare.
    I am going to try both tires at NOLA, RR's with 8 heat cycles and RA1's with over 20 heat cycles, and see the time difference b/w both.

    I also thought the RR's would have a big advantage when it comes to braking but I feel there is no difference in stopping performance. I wonder if this tire is similar to a Hoosier than runs great for the first couple of heat cycles and then starts falling off after 3 or 4 cycles.

    Post up what you feel/find out data wise. I haven't been on RRs yet but don't see that they're consistently better. And if they like a smoother driving style, I should probably stay on the RA1s.
