I signed up for phase 1 and 2 of the New York Evo school in a few weeks.
I'm assuming everyone takes the school on street tires since 20 to 40 runs for each day can use up a set of R compounds. Right now I have 45 runs on mine and want them to last the season, another 4 events at about 8 runs each. Is there anything unusual I should expect for the weekend.... besides a ton of vehicular abuse? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) Hoping for no rain! |

You assume wrong. I would be willing to run a decent set of R-comps at an EVO school just due to the VAST difference that the instructors can show you. Don't take brand new tires but a flipped set of hoosiers work well enough and are miles ahead of street tires. Plus the school helps you in race trim...not street trim. Why learn to do something on streets that you will just throw out the window when you get back to r-comps??? The biggest thing I learned was the amount of slip angle a well set up car can take and how much "wind up" you get from that. Every corner was like getting shot out of a cannon. To summarize: BRING THE GOOD STUFF!!!! |
