That's what I'll be running

josh18_2k · 02-06-2009, 04:19 PM

do those cut it for street class? thought you could run something stickier

Brent · 02-06-2009, 04:40 PM

Rules state any DOT approved tire with a tread wear rating of 140 or greater. I haven't found any R Compounds that have that high of a tread wear rating.

afgmoto1978 · 02-07-2009, 10:37 PM

Well, I'm willing to bet money that RE01Rs, AD07s, Z1s and XSs are at or lower. Seriously, as fast as these tires wear away driving them on the street they have to softer than 140. That and the recommend optimal temps for all of them is in the region of 200 degrees.

So it looks like Mazda will give a $1000 to a Mazda that wins the championship in their respective class. Sweet!

I wonder if they will let the LS1 swap slide on Andrews car lol.

I'm going to have to call them up to see...

Edit- Is it for the actual 1st place in overall standings at the end of the year in each respective class? Or is it 1st place in overall Mazda standings in each class?

afgmoto1978 · 02-08-2009, 01:04 AM

1st place in each class, either way it's a nice year end bonus for all the hard work.

Brent · 02-08-2009, 02:00 AM

according to the factory specs all of those are higher. Either way, no one else will be running any r compounds in the street class either. I would love to run my LS1 in ultimate, but I don't think it'll be worth my time. Like you said, there might be a technicality with the Mazda Contingency for not having a Mazda engine. I also don't think there will be enough Mazda's in the Ultimate class.

andrewdruiz · 02-08-2009, 02:45 PM

Alright, I talked to a friend of mine who actually sat down for the conversations between MNAO and Redline for the contingency program and he's pretty sure I'll be able to qualify. He's a TA driver and his uncle is the manager of Mazdaspeed, so he's a pretty legit source. I'll call tomorrow to confirm, though

Nice Video!! Who's FD is that?

Mirage · 03-08-2009, 10:37 AM

Wow, this makes me want to prep my car for this...probably next year though as it's already way too late...

Afgmoto what cat are you running?

afgmoto1978 · 03-09-2009, 03:39 PM

Magnaflow universal Highflow 94100 unit with 3" inlet/outlet. Wish they made a 3.5" or 4" unit.

FYI, running a cat without the air pump is a good way of killing it in a hurry. I got enough overlap on the intake/exhaust that I still get cool flames during down shifts, which doesn't do the cat any good.

Wish we could run the race cat and be legal. http://www.car-sound.com/02product/universal/race.asp

Bull, you have three weeks to prepare for the first race of the season. And it's at Buttonwillow, so it's not like you can't drive to the event.
