2 Vids from the March Auto-x event

Run #1

Run #2

the other 3 runs were done with my brother trying to hold the camera for 2 of them and the last run is my friend trying to hold it. I don't know if I will post those since it may make you sick from all the motion.

Looks fun man, you seemed really agressive on the first run. Sweet do-nut. J/K

Late late late on the slalom! You should be turning the wheel just before the cone, so you're on the "backside" of the cone, vs turning to miss the next cone.

Re: 2 Vids from the March Auto-x event

thanks.
In the videos above, I was running 17x9.5" wheels with 315/35/17 up front and 275/40/17 in the rear. those are my street tires.

What I normally run are Kumho V710's (265/55/16) on a set of stock 16" 95 Trans Am wheels.

Do you have any pictures of what the 315s look like on the 9.5s? Are those ZR1s?

Re: 2 Vids from the March Auto-x event

They are Z06 replicas. they were my brothers and on the day of the auto-x I was seeing if the 315's would fit on the front, and they did so I ran with them up front and 275/40/17 Nitto 555's on my ZR1's on the rear.
I traded my brother my 2 sets of ZR1's for these Z06's since I wanted a different look with street tires.
