That is quite the weight savings Tim. Might have to consider these wheels at some point.

Bob,
I'm thinking if I had these last October at VIR you would have been seeing a white dot disappearing in front of you instead of watching me in your rear view mirror:)

This is pretty early to trash talk about the championships. Too bad you guys are not in the same chapter as it would be fun to follow a year long verbal joust. Bob I will have my new 3 piece forged Braid wheels on the car this year.

First Weekend Feedback:
Pros:
Wheesl look great
Acceleration is improved
Braking is improved
Handling is improved
Cons:
Tires chosen were too small in diameter for Road Atlanta when using 4.10:1 R&P. Too much 5th gear in critical locations and/or shift points were not in optimum locations.
Solution:
I have ordered higher aspect ratio tires for next race at Road Atlanta.
I will keep the current tires for tracks with shorter straights and/or tighter corners.
Bottomline:
Still finished First for both races and won two hoosier tires.

Wow Tim, so a lightened wallet can make for a good result! I haven't always been so lucky. Glad they worked for you.
