ParticipantPurely speculating but maybe if we get enougph of a response and jim at the track is willing maybe we could have a fun race in mid march and each person could throw in 10 or 20 bucks each and the top 3 guys split the cash in each class. just a thought I don’t know about anyone else but I am itchn to race and there were quite a few people out at the track yesterday. The track conditions were great. The sun was out and the tunes were crankn of course..Let’s make it a great summer..I also purchased some new wheels from barry. They do give you more grip. It was easier to find the grip with these wheels. being a heavy guy I am always chasing grip. these new wheels may be the trick. Give him a shout cause I have no clue what they are called… Have a great weekend..

InactiveSo what is so special about these rims? Douglas what?
Dash for cash. You would have to make the pay out for the top 10 guys and then I might be in the money and want to play. Some guys are itching but this is CO the worst snows come in March and April so it is hit or miss on a day that would be above 45 degrees. Really can’t race before that temp as tires never heat up and it is an ice skating rink out there-dangerous.
Tealemm what class do you race in?

ParticipantI could use some competiton on the ice rink. Jay’s been too easy to beat with his little Biland.

ParticipantI take it he is talking about the LV magnesium wheels. Stiffer than standard with less air in the wheel overall as the o.d. of the center of the wheel is larger. They have been out for almost two years now and is what I ran most of the year around here.
Dash for Cash sounds fun, like back in the day at the national level. What they did was start however many guys then last place each lap pulled in until it was only one left.

ParticipantGreg,
I’ve not looked into these carefully, but I find it hard to believe the air volume could be sufficiently less to really make much of a difference. But did you say that they’re also stiffer than normal wheels? Again, enough to make a difference? (We’re looking for more grip in the front of our Arrow, and haven’t yet found the solution.)

ParticipantJoe,
Yes, the air volume difference is noticeable. The LV wheels have similar grip to solid mags; more grip than the vented.February 8, 2009 at 9:18 pm #62447Justin Mueller
Participantdouglas rims greg is right they are new to me and they do work I picked up a ton of grip I race g-1 Rich get out and practice more then you won’t have to worry about not being in the top ten..instead chase the top 3 it was just an idea there have been many great track days already this year…Ben you big weenie strap on some weight so we can race fairly..lol….
