Yup on 19 inch size and it is a 335/30/19. The biggest I can fit on the front is a 245 so that is not something I want to try running.

Like Keith said, the 335 is all that is being built, but a smaller one will come I'm sure as well, with enough prodding within Kumho. Too many cars are coming with 19" wheels now to not, especially the Porsche guys. That's the reason why Hoosier has six 19" sizes currently. - AB

The plot thickens. I've got Eric Peterson confirmed in the S2000 this weekend, and he's in for the FTS throwdown.

Let the battle begin!

(Actually, it may not be all that much of a battle now...)

Probably shouldn't. I can't even beat a CS car raw.


Well, duh. You're really not all that spectacular David.

Since my decency prevents my participation in the FTS pool. Any body interested in a FTPax pool?

I'm guessing no. Besdes Jim anyhow. But wait. He won't bet.

I had to bail on it and when I unregistered another Triad guy got in. I think they really want their trophies back that you guys have been stealing all year... :wink:

It's not that I "won't" bet, it's that I "don't" bet-- subtle difference. At least for money. It's a Jewish thang... :D

Besides, you wouldn't want none of this anyway! :P

Alright, one final point of clarification on the FTS pool that I thought I should mention.

Participants must ante up their ten bucks at the driver's meeting. NOT after. There won't be any allowing people to take a couple runs and "see how things are going" stuff. Either ante up, or beg off.

:twisted:

Oh...please, please bring TEN DOLLARS CASH. I won't be able to make change.

Bwa ha ha ha! (Wringing hands ominously...)

Looks like we've got a party. I think the tentative list is:

- Me (AS S2000)
- Eric Peterson (AS S2000)
- Chris Peterson (AS STi...I'm putting her on here just because I think she'll throw down, even though she hasn't officially)
- Les Davis (SS Z06)
- Aaron Buckley (SS Z06? Chrysler Crossfire?)
- Mike Dishman? (SS Z06? Or did Dishman have to back out, leaving the seat open for Aaron?)
- Dave O'Maley (SS Z06)

Other possibles?

- who are Jay New and Jim Carter from Triad in a SS Elise?
- Chuck Palmer, from CCR, in a (misclassed in BS, should be AS) M Coupe?

So I think there's at least $50, probably more, riding on this thing.

Welcome to the jackassery Aaron, it's good to have you :twisted:

New and Carter are former salesmen from Lotus of Durham. Not that you'd ever get a salesman to bet or anything ...

Rob H and I have been reviewing the draft coursemap, and all I gotta tell you guys is ... bring horsepower, and be sure you've mastered the 2-3 and 3-2 shift
