I think they were better than full tred RA1's but it seems to me that shaved RA1's to 2-3/32's vs full tred R888's would be real close . A little shave on a new R888 should be faster than any RA1.

Dirks was just a tick faster than his last year time . I was a bit quicker but last year I was on old tires all year.

bottom line R888's are better by a little bit.

Well, here's what I came up with...

Dirks' best on RA-1's in 2007: 1:50.199 (July Sunday Qualifying)
Dirks' first weekend on R888's: 1:48.776 (track record)

Chuck's best on RA-1's in 2007: 1:52.595 (July Sunday Main Race)
Chuck's first weekend on R888's: 1:49.874

Doug's best on RA-1's in 2007: 1:54.277 (November Saturday Qualifying)
Doug's first weekend on R888's: 1:50.639

Chris' best on RA-1's in 2007: 1:56.170 (November Saturday Main Race)
Chris' first weekend on R888's: 1:52.684

Weston's best on RA-1's in 2007: 1:53.879 (November)
Weston's best on RA-1's in 2008: 1:53.318 (Sunday Main Race)
Weston's first weekend on R888's: Making Chris cry!

Chris OFFLINE Seasoned Racer Schmores Posts: 197	thats not exactly the best data for me considering my car is completely different in every aspect of the suspension and 100 lbs lighter. last season was on stock blown shocks, 300lb fronts with a bad ball joint, bad bushings, really really bad brakes, and RA-1s with a gadjillion heat cycles. Id say the 888s are good for almost a second but not quite since i was also driving a much better line.

The tires did work a little better than the RA-1, however we were all making some good power that day- the density altitude around 1:30pm was < 4800ft.

I actually got a lot of work done today too. It wasn't anything like Monday, where we spent the afternoon decorating the office of vacationing co-worker. Now that took some time...
