<p>Unless you are running 140 + over the dips (Mile 57-61) which you wont be or driving a kit car or a plastic car...you wont have any trouble anywhere else on the course at Touring speeds. That course video is cool but there aint nothing like dry running the course unless it is running the course at WOT. ;-)</p>
<p> Run the course when you get to Ely north to south because asphalt and soil compaction conditions change in 6 months....don't ask me how I know just look at TPR photos of my buckled rear quarter panels ;-)</p>
<p>IF you pay close attention you can actually see how the shoulder white lines weave and wave which is a tip off that you have dips or/woop-de-dos/ohhh sheeet jumps coming up. </p>
<p> The off camber turn at mile 70 is also not a problem again and unless your speed exceeds the ability of you and the pantera to stay on the road after you be commin after that long speed drunk straight at 150+ but you will not be doing tjat either. ;-) </p>
<p>There are some blind hills that might be a challenge if there is anyone or anything on the other side because if there is YOU and the Pantera will be headed to the other side to meet Jezus, Mohammed, or whoever your higher power is ;-)</p>
<p>These lectures always sound better when we have had a couple beers...you wont get those in the Rookie Chalk Talk...just have fun and pay attention Rookie.</p>

Wheels are Summit Racing Legend 5 series.<br>
Tires are Sumitomo HTR Z III all around.<br>
<br>
Front:<br>
17x8 w/5.25" backspace<br>
245/40ZR17<br>
<br>
Rear:<br>
18x9.5 w/6" backspace<br>
265/40/ZR18<br>
<br>
The fronts are within an eighth to quarter inch of rubbing at the
back at full lock, but so far, they don't. I may need to adjust
ride height on the front a little bit higher, not certain yet, but
no rubbing anywhere at level.<br>

The rears are "in" just a bit from the outer perspective, but
actually no more than the original wheels on the car. They just
don't fill the entire wheel well like steamroller meats. Can't
afford that just yet and for open road racing I don't think I want
such a radical difference front to rear anyway. Ride height is 27"
floor to top lip of fender. Looks to be plenty of clearance. I
don't think I'm going to touch the rear ride height at all. That's
after moving the car to settle the suspension too.<br>
