Thanks for that tid bit. This is a pic of the 94/194 RX-8 driven by Ron/Joe: http://public.fotki.com/makofoto/200...0/img3286.html

Those 255's looks as meaty as the 285's on that rim. Any idea what they're issues were related to?

My co-driver and I want to try the 255 A6's, but if we don't like 'em we'll probably go with the 245 Hoho's instead. Either way we will be on Hoosiers for the rest of this season...

I'm not sure if Joe and Ron were baffled as much by the 255's or by Bryan being in another zip code, time wise...

But, being serious for a moment (if I'm capable...), Ron did mention they were chasing after "neutral" on the tires. Who knows...I still think, if running Hoosiers, that size makes the most sense.

PAX is pretty much meaningless for SD...they made a minor course change after RG1 on Saturday (didn't effect my line, might have effected other cars), a major course change after RG2 (estimated at .75 to 1.0 reduction in time, depending on car type) and then it rained mid day on Sunday...of course, certain members of this board would suggest that PAX is always meaningless

If it makes the slow guys feel better it did its intended job.

Finally coming up for air...

It was a pleasure running with the spinning triangles club. You all are class acts and a talented group of drivers to get one motivated! I'm at a loss to explain what happened. I don't feel like I drove beyond my normal potential, although I was pleased overall with my driving. At the risk of sounding like I'm rubbing it in I know I left a good 6-8 tenths out there on the weekend, so I was by no means perfect.

It must be the foglights and DSC sensors lowering the center of gravity on Zach's Sport model.

Even the other battles in BS had wider spreads than I was expecting. I figured it would be more like my old ES days -- trophy spots separated by thousandths and large groups of drivers within a couple tenths.

I did manage to get a few photos of BS first drivers in between runs. My San Diego Tour gallery is here: http://www.pbase.com/bryanh/sdtour09

Video of some of my runs:
Saturday - http://www.vimeo.com/3830194
Sunday - http://www.vimeo.com/3861810

Anyone know who the Heat 1 announcer was? Sounded like he missed his coffee that morning.

Now it's off to El Toro with pistons and camshafts and rods, oh my!

Very impressive runs Bryan - especially from the video shot outside the car.
