Leeeds told me that his car is not handling well. The new radial tires are causing a push. He said the tires are more heat sensetive then the old bias R35 compound and the rears get hot & the fronts don't.....which seems like a good theory. To hear him tell it, Jodi called Greg after driving the thing and wanted to know how to cure it....then it broke & we got no cure....assuming there was one.

To my eyeball, I suggested a scrub radius problem....the front wheels are wide and I assumed a standard 5 inch backspace. I did run into one fella that understood that.....the owner of the Stagnaro CP Mustang. He's gone thru 2-3 front ends to get closer to 0 scrub.....and those are huge fronts...12 or 13 inch, me thinks. I took one look at the shallow positive offset of those wheels & went to talk to him. No push there and that thing is FAST...for a CA car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think Brit has found a solution to get wide tires up front with no scrub problems.....we'll see.
