AS most of my ideas are considered "absurd" , I have been lurking this thread. Plus I am really focused on some patent searches.
First. I moved my IT cars to Prod for the tire issues. I dont want to buy HOHOs to race for some plastic.( and I cant rent a car on Hoosiers and clear any cash, one flat spot ruins it.)
The 180TW tires are slower than any DOT race tires .
I get 1.22ish lateral G on the Toyo SM tires, fitted to my Golf, On concrete.
I get about 1.08 or so with the 190TW Dunlops, same turn , same car. (true that some lower spring rates may bring up the max grip a bit on the lower grip tires.)
My basic rule set for the "ITX" or ITJ class allows the SCCA legal IT cars along with the limited prod cars to run on the 180TW tires.
Many Chumpcars are IT cars with street tires. These guys have found that street tires are a nice way to race. The tires last 20 hrs or more. ( depending on aggression level. )
The TW rating should be 180 or higher, to match the lemons/Chumpcar rules, not 200.
Many more tire choices at 180. maybe 10 tires for the SM size
The best way IMHO to execute this idea would be to have a pizza party sat eve for the 180TW cars . Make it look like the bestway to race and it may work out that way. Sell it.
