You need to get a chemical sprayer from the hardware store and water them down between runs, especially if you have double drivers. Re71rs heat fast and get greasy easily if you drive aggressively or over drive them. Who put on the autocross? I surprised porter potties are set up where they are.

I'm putting my 335's on an 18"x 12" wide rim. Your stock wheel is 10 1/2" and that puts it outside of the recommended 315 tops for that size wheel. I would ask others on here what they are safely using.

This may be something I need to start doing. The last video was from a Delta-SCCA event (that's the New Orleans area group). Low turnout due to the scattered thunderstorms.
The first video in the thread was from a SoWeLa event. That's the Lake Charles group.
The other group around me is Cenla, around Baton Rouge. So within 2 hours I've got 3 different groups with races so I've got plenty of options. Personally I prefer Delta because they usually run at Nola Motorsports and have a proper autocross pad that's awesome for traction and drainage.
