I am pretty sure Ed ran a 71.xxx in the fun runs too.....

 

Thanks! First time I've ever won STX at an SFR Event . I think the 235s on the Wagon are working OK

 

Matt : didn't run any in the Fun Runs. That course was bumpy enough I didn't wanna risk breaking anything (those loud CLUNKS from the rear struts bottoming out HARD during the competition runs were a bit scary!). However I do think Leo Montero managed to pull off a 71.xxx in the fun runs (on different tires than he ran in the competition runs).

 

The continentals were bad news for me. I couldn't turn in. I think I need to do tire shopping

damn soren, you don't even know your own shop name?

 

Ahh, maybe it was Leo then - I was pretty sure someone in a wagon pulled off a 71.

I was having a lot of trouble with that course - serious understeer issues, combined with me driving too fast.

 

Hey.. I filled out both our cards and they screwed up his info but not mine.

What does it matter anyways? Everyone knows us by just "MPJ"...

 

I am now running the Hankook RS2. Pretty new tire (only been out a few months).

Sidewall isn't as stiff as the Azeni 215. Low temp traction is close (but not quite) the Azeni 215, but warm/hot is LOTS better. It also appears to be out-sticking the Kumho Ecsta MX, but that comparison is tougher since the set of MX's that I have is smaller (215/40R17).

This tire works WELL with the "heavy" WRX.

Bonus is that it is quite nicely priced! I got a set of 4 in 235/40R17, shipped to my door, for $469! Bought them thru Edge Racing :

• Link to them in 235/40R17
• Link to them in 225/45R17

 

congratulations and great driving ed! i couldn't get comfortable on that long course until the fun runs due to low hard drive memory . it wasn't until the 4th run that i finally took a hint at a couple of pointer cones! those poor workers at station 2 had to be wondering what the heck i was doing heading straight at them! so when in doubt, hire a navigator; thanks soren! i'll need you in run 1 next time.
the course was long but great fun!

 

Mee too! Looks like you will be busy Sunday, Soren.

 

THAT was a fun track !! Yeah, Leo,memorizing a track that long takes awhile allright. BTW, thanks for the pointers.
Looks like our 3-way battle has gotten tighter !

 

Hey Rob. Good runs!

 

BTW: Some great actions photos my buddy took at round 4:
