They are very popular but seem to have fallen out of favour this year. This is my C2 with TT IIs (15 x 6" as per original size).

Sorry not to Hijack the thread.

I will definitely be at the park for the show. I don't know if I'll be at Camp or not. I'm sure my parents will be as they are deep into organizing the event. They are also having an autocross on Sunday if you hadn't heard. Be sure to check out my dad's car. It's the black 67 BB coupe. You can't miss it. He'll be racing it on Sunday too. My car is halfway torn apart in the beginning stages of a frame off.

My old stock 15x8 steel wheels and BFG Radials weigh 54 lbs. I am giving consideration to buying some Draglites in a 15" size to run some slicks. I think the wrinkle wall slick would help absorb the abuse of the stick shift and 598.

I didnt weigh them, but the weight difference is significant when lifting the tires. Check out this article. It's right on point. A difference in 82 lbs and over .10 ET at the track.

I haven't had a chance to go through the instructions of uplaoding pics on threads so I added an engine pic to my user profile - not sure why it's blurry- looked pretty clear in the 1 x 1 screen on the camera!!!
