We are doing the same route as the last meet right?

If so, no matter what I can't get lost. I've ran that route some many times its almost burned into my head. I love revisiting places.

They only way we'll lose people on the highway is if they get caught in traffic and the leaders don't notice. We'll just need to keep tabs on the newer people while going up to Dahlonega.

I think we'll be alright. And yes...likely the same route. However...I MAY change some of it to EXTEND the route if anyone else would be interested in it...?

Extension?
What you got in mind?
Head towards Cleveland or Blue Ridge? Other than those I have no idea.

And just remember that we'll have to change the schedule around for the longer mountain run.

**Papa_Smurf** · 10-18-2007, 08:43 AM

we're not worried about loosing people in the mountains, it's just on the way up there.

radio's will prevent that.

**Papa_Smurf** · 10-18-2007, 01:29 PM

extended FTW.

and hell yes to the volvo, i wanna run against him again.

**EvasiveEF9** · 10-18-2007, 01:51 PM

Exactly...it's a matter of if people have that extra time to run...

I don't know the exact route. I'll have to run it again to rememeber the roads, but it wasn't too difficult. But it takes us right up into Helen...then back to Dahlonega.

**Cato ED-6** · 10-18-2007, 02:52 PM

Going up to Helen...only route I know is to take GA-75.
To come back we could take GA-348 north and we would come out at GA-180.
But thats like a 50 minute drive.

If you're going back up to plan a route I'd love to join.

**EvasiveEF9** · 10-18-2007, 06:00 PM

I'll be up there saturday after Auburn ROCKS out LSU.

LSU goin' down...

This time I'm using my video camera mounted to a homemade mount that attaches to my headrest. I've already used it to tape about a half dozen DE session and one autocross. So, I KNOW this will work.

We'll just have to see...

Don't get in trouble...

**wbhard3029** · 10-21-2007, 04:07 PM

lol
i wont....so whats gonna be the best tire for the volvo...i want a speed rating of at least "z"

**EvasiveEF9** · 10-21-2007, 04:12 PM

**** speed ratings.

Focus more on treadwear. Lower treadwear goes out faster, but sticks better.

I appreciate my Proxes4's, but for a heavier car...hmmm. I mean you can try the P4's. You DID have two of mine for a little while...

**ash7** · 10-21-2007, 07:16 PM

contrary to popular belief, speed ratings have nothing to do with grip, and i doubt you'll ever be going 160+ in your volvo for an extended amount of time...

Like, Evasive said, stick with treadwear as the typical guide. There are exceptions however, the BFG G-Force Sport has a treadwear of 340, but manages to grip just as well as an RT-615 Azenies in dry weather.

So do your research, naturally, I'd recommend the BFG tire.

(I'm a huge fan)

**wbhard3029** · 10-21-2007, 07:11 PM

did...still do....lol

**EvasiveEF9** · 10-21-2007, 07:17 PM

I love the azenis and proxes4...

**wbhard3029** · 10-21-2007, 07:18 PM

well i'll have to convince my father for good tires....

DARE! DARE, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER JOKER! GET IN HERE!

**EvasiveEF9** · 10-21-2007, 07:21 PM

Tell him you can't keep control of the Volvo when VTEC hits in...so you need some JDM tires to stick to the road when it kicks in.

**jfrolang** · 10-21-2007, 10:57 PM

Speed ratings are absolutely irrelevant unless you have a car that will see speeds above 200 mph. Any decent gripping tire is going to be rated at least V, which is good to 149 mph. Saying you want "at least a Z rating" is like saying you want to finish a class with "at least an A+" ... you can't really do any better.

The Falken Azenis RT615 is probably the best street tire out there. The Hankook Ventus R-S2 is right there with it. There are tires that grip better, but they won't last long with daily use.

**ash7** · 10-21-2007, 11:05 PM

lol, RT65s don't last long either. Mine lasted around 5 months, A-Ran put a brand new set on his CRX around feb. of this year, they've already been replaced.

BFG ftmfw

**EvasiveEF9** · 10-21-2007, 11:22 PM

RT615's...true story. They're sticky. But they're gone before they're warm.

**StraightSix** · 10-21-2007, 11:43 PM

The RT-615s used to be the tire to have in STS, but not anymore. They're not a bad tire, but you won't see more than about 10,000 miles out of them.

I DD, track, and autocross the Toyo Proxes 4s. The first set lasted 30,000 miles, roughly, with I think three or four track weekends and maybe 10 autocrosses...or about 50+ autocross runs on them. The track weekends were driven mostly by my roommate at the time...he time trialed my car for three events, and is a much, much better driver than I was at the time. Well, by better, I mean Rob hustled my car around a road course faster.

I replaced the Proxes 4s with another set. I've now done two autocrosses, and five track days on them. I've had a couple of my instructors comment on how well they stick.

**EvasiveEF9** · 10-21-2007, 11:45 PM

Agreed. As stated, I run the 4's. I love them. Granted, I want stickier...but unless it's a track-only car...it's impractical. Proxes 4 FTW.

**wbhard3029** · 10-22-2007, 12:05 AM

FAGS!!! but seriously i need some ideas...and places

**OG-Skinny** · 10-22-2007, 12:12 AM

hrmm.. CRX, EG hatchback, or 84 hatchback.. decisions decisions.....

**EvasiveEF9** · 10-22-2007, 12:12 AM

LoL, he calls us the fags...but he drives a car with a male symbol in its badge. So, basically, he rides a dude all day.

...LoLoL...

**wbhard3029** · 10-22-2007, 12:18 AM

and when i get in a wreak...my car wont crumple up like a can!!!
