Lets see. Vegas drivers running over Reno Drivers,
And No tire handicap . sorta suprized we hit ~ 20 from reno. I was thinking hard of skipping rather then driving for last place 2 days in a row. (street tire vs R compuond) I was going to last minute buy the 139$ Avon Ra from tire rack but luckily for my Credit card they are now out of stock. I'de almost cancel now but since i have the hotel registration n stuff done + being lazy guess i'll go. LoL and someone from LV with an STI has 275's on an 8" rim??? probably a wider rim than 8" Should be fun to see.

There's a wicked cool 36 mile dirt road down there. (National forrest land) i know the West end (comes out to 395, via 208 i think it is ?) it is really rough though, as in Bad washboard. (drove down to it 2 weeks ago) The road Shakes everything even at like 8 mph. goes away around at 45 mph .. my guess is that's really bad on 17" rims. shocks and springs too, but those are Wear and tear items right ??

Anyone have a portable road grader and a truck? anyone else down for some Dirt Driving?

Oh yeah that's right, lol i'm the Only Subaru owner in this club who likes to drive on non paved surfaces, that's right!

Gets me laughing every time !

I was kinda bummed that road is so rough my big plan was gonna be drive down on snow tires, take the 30 mile dirt road 'short cut' and switch back to summers for the event. show up with a muddy , dirty car , and save time driving down.
That road may smooth out (think its called 9 mile raven?) a few miles up, but i couldn't handle driving on it for 10 more minutes with how bad it was.

Too bad there are no 16's that would clear the brakes. Cause i found some rally tires that will fit 16" rims ..

Oh wait ... back OT
Why can't you go wrxkid?
