You run primarily at Mid Ohio, one of the few if not only track that likes old wore out Toyos
Why, the 99 at the Nasa Championship was the the fastest car there in the dry. I don't understand the change. Help me understand other than caving into SCCA. Are you now building a 99 John
I was trying to say that NASA should have stayed the same as 2011.
In NASA trim, 99 gain 1.5 hp and gained 10 lbs ... virtual wash The 1.6 gained 15 lbs, lost 2/3 of one hp or so You should work on your math! So Jim using your math the 10 lbs your 99 gained is equal to 1.5 hp but the 15lbs the 1.6 gained is only 2/3 of a HP.
I also let my son keep the contingency money and the SCCA awards are certainly better.
However when the competition is on fresh Hoosiers, old Toyos don't match-up. Plus the occasional SE-Div SCCA roadtrip necessitates Hoosiers even for regionals (no open tire).
IMO the whole "old Toyos at Mid-O" thing is a myth, nothing beats fresh rubber, anywhere.
[edit: I've no shortage of old, ratty Toyos.]

Remember the old "Keep on Truckin' " shirts from the 70's? Some of you are too wet behind the ears to remember these...
Weekend Warrior Racing will be printing the "Keep on Bitchin' " shirt. I need a pic of Pat.... Maybe include the Mazdaracers.com address on it as well....
They will sell for $20 and the profits will go the ALS Association.
I agree with you 100% evertywhere except at that track. New rubber will grain so badly the tire will look like skin graphs on a burn victim.. New or even fresh Toyos will be off 1-2 seconds a lap. I have seen it first hand several times... IMO.. the Toyos tires for MId Ohio are have been run a few sessions and have sat at least a month since running. they should also be 2/32 or less. If you have some old 2/32 tires with 3-4 sessions on them, they should be gold for NASA races there. I haven't been there in awhile, so other cans correct me if I am wrong ( I'm sure they will )IMO the whole "old Toyos at Mid-O" thing is a myth, nothing beats fresh rubber, anywhere.

How about 2-year-old, 50+ heat cycle Toyos? (a good reflection on my tire budget)

Guys, local autocross kids snap-up used Toyos at $20 a pop. I figure for 'road-racing applications' they're worth $40 each, easily. PM me with your shipping address.

I'm confused now - what in the world were all those guys buying new Hoosiers last year thinking?
Full disclosure please Mr. Webb - what tire did you run in GreatLakes SCCA regionals.
