This weekend I swapped over from a corded set of 25 cycle RRs to sticker RRs. I gained a whopping 1/10 and I'm damn consistent at Pueblo. I realize some tracks differ from others, but I have not seen a significant lap time difference from RA1 to RR nor have I seen a big swing in my car's performance from new to old RRs. I will say that, since I can only squeeze 3 weekends from them, there is less of a decrease in my confidence in the car with old tires vs cording RA1s, but IMO putting that much stock in stickers is stupid. Then again, I race in a region where I am the fastest car. I don't want to shit on my Ford guys, but when I break away I simply gap them so I don't really feel like I have much of a dog in the fight of Ford vs Chevy rebalancing argument. That said, I can drive Hallett every bit as fast as I can at Pueblo, and I definitely saw more of a disparity at Hallett last year WRT lap times than back home at Pueblo where I'm less than .3 seconds off of Flyin' Brian's lap record. Not sure what my input's worth, but I hope to see you all at MSRC in March and re-evaluate from there. I will show up with stickers though based on others' advice.
