Default 3rd and 4th Autoslalom

Had my 3rd and 4th race this weekend. Was warm and sunny and you know us car guys, we all got sunburn

I finished 1st in both races in the beginners class. Starting to hit the cones now as I'm getting faster laps. I won the second race of the day by only half a second though, so it was quite exciting!

What I've concluded. I need a drop, stickier tires and stiffen the car a bit. Or just the tires if I decide to compete in the stock class.

Thanks

Anyone got any suggestions for tires to run in the stock class? They need to be street tires and not classed as street slicks. Also I was thiking to run the stock 16" wheels from my Accord, if I can get away with that, or get a second set of stock 16s for the Z.

I think the star spec will be my choice when I upgrade. These should still keep you stock. Nice job on the driving! How many bars of charge do you use each run?

On the quickest run I used 3 full bars. You get a lot of charge from all the braking. On the second race they opened it up a bit on the straights though, so I used a bit more on those laps. Think the car was hungry as well, cause my two last laps it ate two cones!

Tbot: You are right on that. Class 1 is stock, class 2 is mod, and class 3 is debutant. Those BMW 325i are all stripped out with full roll cage and all. Everyone in class 2 were running slick tires.
