I am doing the Power Tour long haul this year.
I am signed up for the qualifier in Arlington Tx. I have a new set of street tires on the car(300 tread wear) I can get by with those, the brake pads are what I am worried about. I bought the best ceramic pads Oreilly had so they wouldn't dust my wheels up, I did the autocross in Muskegon and they did ok. I don't have ny brake ducts either. I had my Carbotech XP 12/10 fronts and the 8's for the rear sent to my hotel.....do I need to put them on? The Optima deal is Autocross Stop Box Eagle Canyon road course(1 lap at a time) Will I be ok with the ceramic pads??????????? Or switch to the Carbotech's? Need some input quick. |

Is there a treadwear limit on the donuts you can use for this event?

Is there a treadwear limit on the donuts you can use for this event? I took a quick look at the rules and it showed 200 tread wear. I would pick Hoosier is there was no limit. :-) That puts one onto; NT-05s, 615Ks and the like for the stickiest 200 treadwears which will fit, and be widest, under our cars. Hoosier-Daddies sound great (IF they were allowed), except they will not last too long out on the open roads (from flats due to picking up EVERY SINGLE piece of shrapnel they roll over, as much as from just plain wearing out) if they require a 'cruise-type' drive to prove these are REALLY "street cars".
