That anyone who autocrosses with Trackbird takes his or her life out of their own hands. :leaving:

I'll just throw out some random words and you can make your own story because I'm not one to tattle.

two-seventy
grass
timing station
scatter
cones
flatten

Well, that's enough randomizing for now.

QUOTE (trackbird @ May 9 2005, 09:58)
I was wondering how old they were because I remember that you killed a clutch on them and I couldn't get enough grip to ever put my clutch in danger. I figured they were "here" so I may as well go beat them to death (and I did my best). I remember you telling me to get rid of them after last year, but I'm cheap and I never listen. So, they won't be a problem much longer.....

I bought them in late spring 2003. I also ran them at an Evolution on slick pavement in snow flurries in Spring 2004. I was actually impressed by how well they worked under those conditions. It was only taking one short run to get them warm enough to stick well. Of course, that was about a year ago (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm sure they are well past their prime now, but I'll still point out that Nittos love LOW pressure. On my old camber-challenged setup I usually ran them somewhere around 35f/28r hot.
