Once you are a newcomer, you will all be grouped together in Novice class (NE). This is any car. You are allowed in this class for 6 events or if you win NE twice you will be bumped into whatever class your car's horsepower puts you in. You can also choose to be put straight into the correct class for your car and miss Novice class completely, however, this is not recommended.

Looking forward to seeing you all in the new year. The first event will not be a BYCC. We want to take advantage of the dry season to get in as many events as possible, so we will be starting early with SoloDex 1

how is it on tires? do you have to buy tires for each event?

[djaggs]

Buy used tyres.

The wear on the tyre will depend on the weight of your car and how you drive it, also the tyre itself (hard or soft)

[honda hoe]

yeah... but EVERY event

[X2]

If you want grip, you will need to sacrifice some rubber.

I have gone to events where I end up driving on the same tires for a long time after... but have also gone to BYCC events where I burned the tires down to the steel belts well before the day ends.

It's best to bring a couple steelies with some F/U just in case your front tires get toasted.

[honda hoe]

steelies won't fit over my brembos

f/u low profiles tyres is how much now?

[wagonrunner]

now seeing the tire question...................
my advice to the newcomers.
put on a pair of steelies and cheap tires. especially if you its a front wheel drive.
more than likely you will stress them, and i'm sure you would prefer to preserve your street tires.

hoe,
last check, used tires go for $150.
see if you can pick up some FU rims and mount them on. might be the easier solution to your brembo problem.

[honda hoe]

i tink u need to check back dat $150 price

like u ain't buy none since 2003

[wagonrunner]

honda hoe,
i ent buy since 2005.
that's when i learned, if you can fit a 13" tire, the grip gods have blessed mileage mack with the ability to give racer performance for cheap.

[X2]

When the tire shops get used to seeing you, you will get better pricing...

$150-200 is common... but make sure YOU choosing them !

Also... that was good advice... pickup a set of cheap rims with ur lug pattern, throw on some f/u tires and use those as your track sluts.

[honda hoe]

i have an extra set of rims and tyres

[^Pretty^]

is it ok to use original alloy rims that may have come with your car?

i have some 15's that came with some brand new Dunlop 205/60/15 tyres

my plan is to buy 17's rims n tyres but keep the 15's for dex....

would the 15's alloy rims be ok or is it still advisable to go with the steelies as previously mentioned?

[wagonrunner]

^^
alloy rims are fine.

[Rudman]

Wow! So ^Pretty^, yuh really serious about making some runs for dex in 2008 then?

That's great.
