Santa's Run Pics
Well I had a great time today in the hatch and took a few pics. Pictures didn't turn out all that great but still gives you an idea of the cars that were there. This was a great event and if you haven't been to it you should think about going next year.

Who won the fastest lap?
I did 1:05.4
What were you driving?
I'm pretty sure he was driving the STI.
Mainstream Performance
yeah, the red STI won the time attack thing.
what was the deal with the registered drivers in that car? i heard there was some driver switching going on or something.

Yeah Doug from Topspeed was nice enough to let me drive his 08 STI since my car is down. I've got to tell you that is one fast automobile for a street car.
Downpipe, Tune, BC Coilovers, and Yokohama Neovas
I was the registered driver. Doug let me borrow his car so I let him drive the first session and the third session. I drove the finals.
Haha awesome!!!!!! I think I saw the car at the V once? It had a Topspeed sticker on it and nice wheels. Congrats, nice time.
Thanks most of the credit goes to the boys at Topspeed...very well setup car. Doug is going to make a couple of changes to it, I suspect it will go faster. I've now spent a total of 20 minutes in the car including today so I was a little timid my first session. With another hour or so it would go sub 1:05, with a couple of suspension tweaks it will probably go very close to 1:04 flat.
so what was the issue? i just heard something about someone else registering to drive the car and then another better driver running to get a faster lap or something so ya'll could win. just what i heard though.

235's all around right?

Its funny how people start rumors to make themselves feel better. I was registered I'm the one that ran the 1:05.4. Doug wanted to drive his car on track which is understandable since it is his.
they were bigger than that lol. correct me if im wrong but those were 10" wheels right?

285s, Neovas are very nice to drive on, very predictable.
Yes 18x10s
lol calm down grasshopper i was just asking. theres no doubt that the car was fast and driven well. just wondering what the deal with that was.
neovas are a good tire for what they are. theres ALOT faster street tires, but they wont last near as long.

they could have been i'm not sure.

Oh no worries, You are just the third person to ask me so I just thought it was funny.
Cool I was soo close.. lol :boobies:

Name a faster Street Tire...lol
I'm always curious to hear what people consider a street tire.
Nice pics. Had loads of fun today. Hope to redo my civic then setup a track day there late spring

Azenis? I have never used Neovas but I do know Azenis have a ton of grip but wear uber fast

A lot of people really seemed to enjoy it hopefully more will get hooked.
Nah, and they over temp after the first good hot lap
by street tire i mean a tire that has actual tread. lol. bridgestone re-01s, toyo ra-1s/r888s, hancook whatevers. as far as a REASONABLE street tire, azenis rt-615s are GREAT tires but only in dry conditions. i know technically hoosier r6's are "street legal"... but really...? lol

Hmmm Good info. Regardless congrats on the time and it was good talking to you. I was the guy in the black Civic

they arent bad at all on a lighter car like a civic or miata, but under alot of weight they get greasy.

RE01s no so much, R888s are pretty good and I haven't tested them back to back, 615s aren't even close. As far as real street tires go I would say Michelin PS2s are the only other thing I would run.
The 888 is pretty much a track day only tire kinda like the a048
I was running them on the hatch today and they seemed to do fine. Although my driving skills are lame.
Mainstream Performance
Sorry I've only operated fast heavy vehicles, I'm sure they are ok on a Miata but everything is ok on a miata...lol
Any pics of mspi crew or other members?
We were all in the same group but there were several people taking pics.
Chad needs to post his up he had some of us but i'm sure he'll start another thread which is fine.
Mainstream Performance
yeah, even on an e30 or something which by my standards in on the heavy end of light they do very well one they get heat in them. its easy to overdrive them and get 1-2 badass laps and then have them fall to shit and cover themselves in afro-sheen...

It was very cold today I would be amazed if anyone managed to over temp the tires, I think we only really got heat into ours in the last session....Car needed more brakes.
Double Post.
NICE Time Matt. I enjoyed todays event IMMENSELY, although the RR skills are limited. Good seeing you today man.
Chris I enjoyed both of your post, you looked good out there, hopefully next time Ill have a little more free time so i can help some of you guys out.
the only complaint i have is about the organization of the event. it was sorta unstructured and there was no accurate timing system set up. i think numbers on cars would have helped out alot.
