View Full Version : I think that there is oversteer.... nick325xit 5spd 07-12-2005, 11:57 AM http://www.jasondidit.com/G_IMAGES/2005710/2005_4_293.JPG bren 07-12-2005, 12:25 PM That's heading to the finish right? I almost lost it there on my 3rd run. nick325xit 5spd 07-12-2005, 12:26 PM Showcase turn. bren 07-12-2005, 12:39 PM Ah..yeah..ok. I didn't have any problem there :stickoutt nick325xit 5spd 07-12-2005, 12:41 PM You didn't have rear tires at temps well above 180. :p Mikey52 07-12-2005, 01:19 PM You didn't have rear tires at temps well above 180. :p What do you use to measure tire temps? 96technoM3 07-12-2005, 01:29 PM A laser pyrometer, I'm guessing. magnetic1 07-12-2005, 01:56 PM Or a probe... Nick likes to stick his probe in things bren 07-12-2005, 02:24 PM You didn't have rear tires at temps well above 180. :p We don't know that....I didn't get to check my temps after my 2nd run (at which time the rears were at 169) ;) nick325xit 5spd 07-12-2005, 02:38 PM A laser pyrometer, I'm guessing. Metal probe pyrometers are the only way to go. Anything else will give very innaccurate readings. clyde325xiT 07-12-2005, 03:27 PM Or a probe... Nick likes to stick his probe in things Hmm...I always thought his problem was not sticking his probe into enough things. :dunno Mikey52 07-12-2005, 03:29 PM Metal probe pyrometers are the only way to go. Anything else will give very innaccurate readings. Am I stupid in being worried about putting a bunch of holes in my tires with that thing? Do you put it in the tread, or in the valley between the tread, or both? Oh, and what kind do you have? :) John V 07-12-2005, 03:36 PM Clyde and I use a Longacre memory pyrometer. I think Nick's is similar. It just pokes holes in the "tread" surface, you're not piercing the carcass with it. No harm no foul. Mhyrr 07-12-2005, 04:10 PM God, did anybody not have oversteer Sunday? Ugh. nick325xit 5spd 07-12-2005, 04:15 PM God, did anybody not have oversteer Sunday? Ugh. I think that this is the first time a lot of us have been on the Kumhos with high heat. It requires a bit of an adjustment in procedure. Also, B-Stock and ASP clearly need to keep fuel handy. clyde325xiT 07-12-2005, 04:21 PM I think that this is the first time a lot of us have been on the Kumhos with high heat.

If by "fuel" you mean water sprayers with water in them, yes, I agree. nick325xit 5spd 07-12-2005, 04:23 PM If by "fuel" you mean water sprayers with water in them, yes, I agree. My sprayer HAD water in it, until all of you fuckers emptied it out. clyde325xiT 07-12-2005, 07:34 PM My sprayer HAD water in it, until all of you fuckers emptied it out. If you didn't bring enough to share with everyone... Matt 07-12-2005, 07:54 PM Piercing carcasses with your probe? The MAR has reached a new low. Matt nick325xit 5spd 07-12-2005, 08:07 PM If you didn't bring enough to share with everyone... I'm enacting a no water for Brendan rule. :p bren 07-12-2005, 08:34 PM I'm enacting a no water for Brendan rule. :p Hey, at least I filled it back up! nick325xit 5spd 07-13-2005, 09:16 AM Hey, at least I filled it back up! Yes, but I don't care how cold Clyde and John's tires get. ;) kenkamm 07-13-2005, 10:43 AM My sprayer HAD water in it, until all of you fuckers emptied it out. :lol True story! John V 07-13-2005, 11:23 AM Yes, but I don't care how cold Clyde and John's tires get. ;) There was plenty! sKunkman 07-13-2005, 02:13 PM I thought hot tires were better for grip? :dunno Maybe not for cornering. John V 07-13-2005, 02:39 PM I thought hot tires were better for grip? :dunno Maybe not for cornering. That used to be pretty universal. The latest generation of R-compounds and Street Touring rubber has a pretty narrow window in which it grips optimally, though. The V710 seems to be happy under 150F. |
