[TPR] TIRES.......was;Re: 2021 T-Shirt

[B Hower]

I agree with Mark ... at 150 plus average I would want the Y for safety factor .... But as MD pointed out, I am older and maybe more cautious now days.

  But Dennis, You are missing the point, if you really want to go fast you need (Y) rated tires. They are rated for 189 + mph. Necessary for 160 and up.   In my opinion, the only way to go. Mark

 Lets discuss this subject.I am copying Eric Petterson for opinion and it is Eric who has the final say on tires.
Tire load rating and speed is set by mfg. and correct me if I am wrong. We have had many guys running W and Z rated tires that have met the load and speed rating for a Pantera and passed tire tech. 
We lost the argument a couple years ago that a V speed rated tire (149 MPH) could pass tech.Erics ruling was 149 speed rated tire would not cut it. And totally agree with Erics decision in that case.
 Its a long story but my recollection is the argument was any car that was capable of 150+ MPH speeds (like the Pantera) needed a mfg tire that was speed rated in excess of  the 149 MPH “V” rating.
Personally I have always run Y RATED tires in all the ORR events as long as they have been available.....but for the record I want Eric to give us his rule on this question so there are no misunderstandings.
ERIC?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Bunny,
Thanks foe the clarification...
I figured the Chihuahua race was a JV effort like the old La Carrera & LaBufadora Hill climb weekend. Question then is the Chihuahua still scheduled this year as well? And who is the Mexican partner? Is that Ed Everett?
Mark and I and maybe Paul Katchadourian are also interested in Running in Mexico too.
Thanks,
Dennis & the team

 Hi Dennis.,
Just to clarify, there are only 2 Silver State races, NORC in May and the SSCC in September.  Each driver receives 1 T-Shirt at registration and each navigator receives 1 T-Shirt at registration.
Everyone stay safe and I hope to see everyone at one of the races.Bunny

 Team, 
Thanks to Bunny Hill and the SSCC Board we got two Pantera’s on the 2020-2021 SilverState event shirts. Thank you Bunny!!
The first Pantera # 468 is Mark’s Pantera and the other Pantera may be the artist’s rendering as I can never remember in 25 years of seeing it but it looks purdy as all heck so we will have to come up with some folk TPR legend. 😄
The shirts will be on sale in May at the NORC in Ely. Again everyone who registers to race in any of the 3 SSCC events gets two (2) shirts at no added cost. 
REGISTRATION: Note May is coming up quick so make  sure you plan ahead on maintenance and if you are planning to attend remember the 3-year rule on speed rated tires. Because the Pantera was designed and built to drive at triple-digit speeds tires need to meet either W, Y, or Z speed ratings. Doesnt matter whether or not you will be running the course at 100 or 150 MPH Tire Tech is not flexible on tires and wheel bearings. So come and have a great time but come prepared. Read the Silverstate rule book.
If you have any questions on that or any other questions or concerns please contact me or Asa. Still plenty of time to do everything to update and repair. 
Good Times People

Good Morning Guys,
Just thought I'd let you know that since we did not race last year we are going with Mark's Pantera for this year's T-Shirt.I think it looks awesome.
