Most of the tracks out here in SoCal are seldom prepped or lightly prepped. I'm thinking about buying some decent smaller diameter (but wider) wheels and mounting some sticky straightline tires that would not get me booted into a 'hardcore racer' class. Plan to take them in the backup truck and change at the track unless I get a trailer (meow...). I seldom expect them to be used on the street. I don't want to compromise street handling for track ET.
I'm also giving in and getting a good rollbar for the Vert, chucking the the back seat, etc, so there will be no realistic 'rule based' limit to the speed I will soon be able to run. I've stayed basically stock with the engine (around 400 RWHP) , but after I see what I can get out of the engine with the new sticky setup, I will add the next 50+ easy HP to the engine and see what happens next (half-shafts, rear end ha ha).
If you are currently running a smaller diameter wheel and a sticky tire that is something less than an all out slick on a 2003 Cobra, I'd appreciate your input.
Pointing me at a thread is OK too. I searched, but found not much posted in the last couple of months. Found people planning, etc but no fresh spoor.
