Interesting point. When EVX PAX was reasonable, it was a great place for the Model 3 to play. Now that they clearly want EVX to be buried, we probably should drop back to stock and figure out how to make a max attack AS car and either mess up AS PAX or force them to analyze the car with all the others.Sounds like they want us to annoy the locals in AS.
They've gutted the XA/B exclusion list tho, so that class might turn out to be heavily modded C8s, NSXs or P-cars...For XA at Nats, 5 out of the 6 EVX entries would have placed between the existing 5th -8th placed finishers in XA.
What would a 10/10ths M3P even look like? 315s? 335s? How much aero? Maybe throw in a LSD?
I guess we'll see what the AZ tour looks like the end of Feb. I may be down there to run that if I can line up a car.
Still a bit low imo but I’ve just dominated in pax even on 615k tires. I’ve ran ASP on street tires to make it closer. Thinking SSP this year so it’s competitiveIt appears EVX Pax was changed to .834
Care to share what club you run in and what the competition is like?Still a bit low imo but I’ve just dominated in pax even on 615k tires. I’ve ran ASP on street tires to make it closer. Thinking SSP this year so it’s competitive
A quick search seems to suggests that he runs with a small club in Northern coastal California. They seem to have a single main autox lot that's on the smaller side, which is located right by the ocean and has a pretty worn asphalt pavement. I'd venture a guess that the average race time ambient temp is under 60F, it's often damp and humid. Basically, grip is at a premium. Which makes it pretty reasonable that an AWD EV could dominate on two-generations-old rubber.Care to share what club you run in and what the competition is like?
Our asphalt is pretty bad so that gives me a bonus w/ awd, I ran at thunder hill auto x once and won SS. Medford and hillclimbs in Oregon is the most I travel usually. Always have top pax in hill climbs but that doesn’t really matter.Care to share what club you run in and what the competition is like?
At Nationals and the National Tours the EVX legal cars were all on RE71's and could not come close to a SS time, so ither your competition is weak, the courses you run favor a Tesla, or you're a completely next level driver. We'd love to see you at Crows or Nationals to prove how quick a Tesla can be!
I also run against national SS/AS/BS champions in my reigon and there is zero way I can come close to their 2023 PAX times. The places Rick seems to reference where Teslas "dominate" are always a complete alien driver who wins no matter what car they drive, yet when they are in a Gt4 they are a great driver, but in a Tesla it's the car.
Come to Crows Landing for National Tour at the end of April.Our asphalt is pretty bad so that gives me a bonus w/ awd, I ran at thunder hill auto x once and won SS. Medford and hillclimbs in Oregon is the most I travel usually. Always have top pax in hill climbs but that doesn’t really matter.
If no cords are showing, you can probably flip those Stones and get a few more events with just a touch less grip.For those of you who will be running in AS - or are otherwise running stock suspension - what 200TW tires are you considering? I ran the RE-71RSes in 2023 and they're now half-worn and half-slicks as you can see in my last event vid below. I'm not ruling out running the Stones again, but I'd be willing to trade a little peak performance for more longevity. So I was considering the Nankang CR-S V2 (a bit pricey) or good ol' Falken RT-660s (I liked these on my old Mustang when they first came out.)
Note: Nope, I didn't spray the Stones. Thinking I need to start in 2024...
Appreciate it. Yeah, unless some deal pops up, I will flip and keep running them.If no cords are showing, you can probably flip those Stones and get a few more events with just a touch less grip.
My RT660s did not last much more than RE71RS. I'd probably get Conti Force or Kumho V730s if I wanted a long-lasting tire. Be prepared to be 1+ second off pace on a 60 second course.
See here for more options.
Nankang seems more like a track day tire, but maybe in Tampa its slowish pace when cold won't matter as much.
Welp, upon swapping tires for tomorrow's event, I've decided the Stones have only one more event in them. I should have determined to flip them sooner. Lesson learned.Yeah, unless some deal pops up, I will flip and keep running them.
for tomorrow's event
We should have traded out all the MPP parts from my car to yours before I sold it. You would be hard to beat in full EVX!Welp, upon swapping tires for tomorrow's event, I've decided the Stones have only one more event in them. I should have determined to flip them sooner. Lesson learned.
Just placed an order for Falken RT-660s, but I am still interested in hearing what others are running with stock suspension.
255/35/19? What offset on your wheels? I’m getting a set of 19x9 +30. I am trying to decide between 255/35/19 71RS, 275/30/19 RT-660, and 265/30/19 CR-S.Welp, upon swapping tires for tomorrow's event, I've decided the Stones have only one more event in them.

Did you get a car for Phoenix? I’m registered co-driving a AS Grand Sport. I have a stock 2021 M3P. I don’t expect it will be prepped for Phoenix next month.For XA at Nats, 5 out of the 6 EVX entries would have placed between the existing 5th -8th placed finishers in XA.
