You so don't get it.  Its all about hooking up in first or second gear with 500 ftlb of torque.  What does ABS have to do with that?  Tires were spinning so fast the traction control couldn't even cut in fast enough.


Yes! except it was the skinny STREET tire setup.

You should try the 195 toyo tires, I hear they are crazy sticky and like the cold!

Its ok Randy, you have ABS.  I mean how bad can things be with ABS?  Things must be SSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much EASIER with a ANTI LOCK FREAKIN BRAKING SYSTEM.








 :P ;D

For the record the 195's do have a cold limit and its not pretty when you approach it while driving on the street.
Now with even skinnier/smaller diameter tires on the Corvette for SCR ice-rink skating in 2013.

Ugh, no I get it perfectly Randy.  Frank was making fun of my 195 Toyo's.  I was making fun of his new ABS system ;)

yes, even with my puny tourqe output I was spinning ( even throw the back-end out on one occasion ) going uphill and the TC didn't keep up.

Aaaaaaanyway....

Is it April yet? I'm eager to get things rolling with EvoSchool.

Looking forward to the toehr regions getting their schedules up so I can fill up the calendar with more options. Already have SCR and ETRSCCA on it.
