mwiener2 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Had my first autocross today. It was pretty sweet. I got kicked off the course though casue of the bubbles in my two left tires....even though I passed tech spec. O well, I got 3 runs in and proved that Dunlop tires may not take a pothole very well, but they'll still hold up to lots of thrashing with an apple sized tumor sticking out the sidewall. BTW, winter tires don't like being taken to their extremes when it's 75 degrees out. I have a video of the runs that i'm putting up on google video.... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3240103763259158047 edit: Just noticed that the bubble in the rear tire is so big you can actually see it in the two pics of my car. It's at about 3 O'clock. The front bubble is at about 2 O'clock but it's alot smaller.

mwiener2 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 no, that was my registration paper for the event. My new tires and wheels were at the local UPS shipping center....but UPS wouldn't let me get them on a weekend....so that's why I was racing on damaged winter tires.

mwiener2 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Here's what happened. It was a closed course so the only way to spectate was to come with a driver. So my plan was to show up, fail tech spec, then stay and watch. But they passed me at tech spec and I figured what the hell, I'll go for it. The worse that could happen was a blow out and I'd go off course a little. I have a donut and the new wheels and tires were in town, so why not. The tires held up just fine anyways My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
