Unfortunately we ran out of passes and Jambo isnt really the place to do testing either.....

We could fit a 28 x 11.5 - I know thats what the PETMOD citric falcon runs. We were racing in modified compact so the tyre size wasnt a restriction. It is a nice comfy fit with the 10.5's though. We could try the 29.5 x 10.5W tyres with the thicker side wall (which is what our 28's are).

Or conversely we can look at taking some weight out - which we will probably have to do anyways.

Still plenty of work to go. Its all good fun though. Atleast we have kept a straight car. A handful of guys had big issues with the walls up at Jambo - especially the Turbowerx VL which ran us in the first round and had a big impact. Here hoping it stays that way (touch wood)!
thats the fun of it, getting it all sorted some weight out of it will definitely be a good thing. heavier the car more wear and tear on the motor. does the gas turn off at a certain rpm or once the transbrake is released? what brand converter do u run? u gonna be out at the Track Championship at WSID Oct 14,15?
