These are a little wider than the RA-1's that came off, so I need to make a few minor adjustments... but looking forward to seeing how they do. Should have quite a bit more grip.
Thanks to Betim @ BBI Autosport for setting me up with the set.
Anyone else running these?

Custom Heaters & Research: Tire warmers on a race car



very common in the motorcycle racing world...basically brings the tires up to heat faster so all of your laps are productive and safe...some slicks on some vehicles are just dangerous when the slicks are cold.

makes sense, im guessing more for the front tires, since u can just do a burnout to heat up and clean off the rears.

no..the rears need it just as bad if not more....rule of thumb...cold fronts..understeer....cold backs..oversteer.

gotcha, i've only drag raced, so thats why im asking questions.

 

[sullyz]

no tire warmers needed, just need a lap or two to get things up to temp before you start to push

oh ok. on bikes..we are scared to even ride slicks without warming them up....they slide way too much.

Badass, any vids of the car? I've been addicted to E46's forever, hoping I can pick one up in the next year or 2.

That's Laguna Seca not Estoril right?

nice! I would like to pick up an e46 and convert it to a tracktoy what group do you run with?

 

[sullyz]

I run with various groups. This was just our annual post-Thanksgiving event put on by a friend of mine for the last 7 or so years.

he rents the whole track out?

now thats how you get seat time!!!

 

[sullyz]

Back in 2003 there were only 15 of us. Now the event hosts 40+ cars with 3 different run groups, but still more than enough track time.

Mike loved watching the video, next time I would love to go and check it out. Thanks for sharing.
