Default Re: Nittos vs. BFG

How far is the track from the hotel? Will everyone be trailering? I am going to run the Polyglas since mine is a SMALL BLOCK. Any thoughts on tire pressure? Planning on 18lbs rear and 32lbs front. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] Hope to have new exhaust system in time. Tom said fuel is available at the track. Leaving 2 weeks from today, stopping in Spokane the 23rd for the Inland Empire Camaro Club show. Not TOO excited!!! Will be bringing some good NW microbrew!

How far is the track from the hotel? As the crow flies, probably within a mile, but little further to drive...simple to get to/from both places.

Will everyone be trailering? Don't know, as I'd say it depends when most get there, and if they want their tools and such there. A lot of times, the guys will get teh cars out Thursday evening, so those cars may drive over Friday morning. I'd say the majority will drive back from the track...I know we will, unless we break something!

I am going to run the Polyglas since mine is a SMALL BLOCK. Any thoughts on tire pressure? Planning on 18lbs rear and 32lbs front. Well, that pressure would make for a good show, but won't be worth a SQUAT for traction. The Polys seem to do best with 40+ in the rear and the same in the front. Our Camaro likes 46psi is at 46psi all the way around, but pump 'em up, put down some marks, and check 'em.

For those wondering, we'll have our trailer on hand with a generator, compressor, welder, jacks, jack stands, and lots of tools. We'll also have a fuel jug, as they won't pump into your car.
