Ah, the 275 debate. I haven't done it for a few reasons:
-To properly do it you have to hack the car, and you can't really run 225s and look correct again
-The racing I'm going to be doing in the car (SLB and Redline) require a 50 or 100 treadwear tire, which is the Nitto NT-01
-It would increase my tire budget by something like 700%

If you use 10" or 10.5" wide wheel you'll have to hack, but with 6UL you might need just fender pull with fender roller?

But anyway, Sav's car deserves a proper vinyl number. I'm thinking chrome..
Oh and, JC's car probably had over 100K into it two years ago when it was a street class car.

wtf is up with the Corvettes roof hump? The pictures of the driver don't seem like he'd hit his head otherwise, plus if his head really does sit up there, obviously not gonna be protected by a roll cage/bar.
Voted again.

^^^ Yeah that roof hump on the Corvette is pretty ghey looking. I feel sorry for they guy if he had to do it for a rules requirement.
I feel REALLY sorry for him if he did not have to and did it anyway.

You guys have seen Tom Barrett, right? The guy is like 6'9 and 350+lbs. He did the hump so his helmet would clear the roof, and that's with a Kirkey leaned back and bolted to the floor of the car.

Good luck Andrew!
I voted for you. Should be interesting to see what happens. The folks at Octane report don't really think miatas sell magazines or drive website hits, but hopefully the overwhelming response form the community gets you to SEMA. I gotta think regardless of what they do with SEMA that you will get an invite to SLB.
Looking forward to having another miata on the podium. I'll vote again tomorrow.
