This past Sunday I attended my 2nd ever AutoX event after my first event earlier this spring pre-COVID. My first event the car was brand new, bone stock, and I was brand new to driving anything even remotely sporty after a long hiatus from having fun with anything related to autos.
I'm hoping to get some input from those of you more seasoned coneheads about what my tires are telling me here.. I have my suspicions that I ran too low of a tire pressure..BUT I'd love to get some input from those with a little more experience.
Car Setup:
FRPP Track Dampers (F/R)
BMR Handling Springs (F/R)
Steeda Full Length Jacking Rails
Front:
Steeda Camber Plates
BMR Adjustable Sway Bar End Links
Steeda Tension Link Bearings
Steeda Lateral Links w/ Extended Ball Joints (Roll-center correction)
Steeda Bumpsteer Kit
FRPP/ARP Extended Wheel Studs
OP Mustang 25 & 20mm Hub-Centric Spacers
Rear:
Steeda IRS Subframe Support Braces
Steeda Subframe Alignment Kit
Steeda Subframe Bushing Support System
Steeda Rear Camber Adjustment Kit
BMR Rear Shock Mount
BMR "Premium" RLCA Bearing
BMR Adjustable Sway Bar End Links
FRPP Toe-Knuckle Bearings
Alignment:
Front: -2.7Âș Rear: -1.6Âș Camber
Caster: 7.1Âș L/R
Front: 0.00Âș Rear: 0.10Âș Toe
Thrust Angle: 0.00Âș
The course was FAST and FUN! With the course being as fast as it was, I was a little too aggressive and over drove the car quite a bit. The car was vastly improved from what I can remember from my first event in a stock car. I was much more comfortable driving the car at/near the limit which contributed to an inflated confidence to over drive the car. Surface is a rough and rocky covered asphalt. I understand it has the nickname "gravel pit" from the locals..
So both sides are comparable in terms of wear, so I'm only going to post front and rear from the drivers side. Tires are Michelin PS4S in 305/30/19 Square setup on 19x11's. I know these aren't "track" tires so don't hound me too hard for having street rubber Tire pressures were 32psi front/rear hot.
Front tire:
Rear Tire:
Is the wear excessive and just a result of my overdriving the car? Was this a pressure issue? Lack of Camber? Any input welcome!
Results for those of you who stuck around: #39
PAX results: 54th/127
