We'll be on 15x10 with 245 Rivals this weekend. Converting to spec tire for 2020 is going to be a TON of work, testing, etc. etc.
The hype vid is real tho!

I will be following Ryan’s progress like I do every year, along with my boss in the #73 evo. I did some of the aero and installed all the suspension components under it’s previous ownership, then Eddie bought it to campaign in GTA, but has had about 1/10th the time we’d hope to for prep. It did a test a few weeks ago at Buttonwillow and had some significant handling issues, hopefully fixed now. It was set up for a billiard table and not Buttonwillow. I doubt we’ll be a threat for podium, I just hope he has fun. Good luck everyone!

Neat, he doesn't have many spares, but he's a wealth of knowledge and got started in Miatas, so he's always willing to talk about them when the Evo inevitably breaks down

Eddie had a 1:47 predicted in turn 13, but shut it off due to oil pressure warnings. He's going to wire the accusump to stay on constantly and put an extra quart in the engine. It's also pumping about a half quart of oil into the catch can every lap despite modifying the baffles to help aid drain back. Engine was built by ER, might be a bit loose?
What group is Ryan in and why hasn't he posted any times?

Or maybe different track conditions vs last year? Granted I can't find the live race monitor results....... I haven't seen many in the low-mid 1:40s and none in the 1:30s.

Think the race monitor results are broken. Not working for me either. Track does look super dusty even with the cleaning.

Turns out it's on racehero.io and not racemonitor!
