I talked to the guy at LG and he said its more important to get correct camber when making a hwy pull so the tire contact patch is largest

That is important as well, but you asked about tires...camber can change as the vehicle's suspension is loaded with an IRS, pressure is another very important variable in maximizing the contact patch

That's what I meant it seemed like he was saying contact patch was more important than sidewall from a roll so I wondered if 15s would be a benefit in a race like this. We're you leaning toward running them?

Ok, I agree...no it's actually one of their customers who runs them (dsp300c) and might be coming out if he gets his new build dialed in, my car is slow and only plan on watching

Neither is my WS6 but the power you make and what you trap would put you ahead of most everyone if you can hook from a roll.

Bring it out and let's show em what a properly setup vette can do

You know his car would own ALL even the R package UGR cars if he can hook. I would bet money on that!

How awesome would it be for UGR to be sent home by a C6 Z!?!

Flash create a pot or a bounty for any corvette driver that brings home KOTS, if they win it they get the payout. Sponsors or donors can fund it.

If that's what it takes then I'd do it. The only problem I see here is that TI happened to fall on the same weekend as the LSX shootout
