Pics: Cobalt at auto-x

Here is my Cobalt in full auto-x form. In case you are wondering, the "3" is in memory of the late Dale Earnhardt and it is in the font that was used on his race car. Plus I just think it looks cool and is a good number for a race car!

I am using the same size wheels as stock, 16 inches. And I am not running the competition knuckles because currently they are not legal in stock class

Hum, are you in the SVR region? Don't think I've seen your car at any of the WMR events. Anyways, T stands for street Tire in the Detroit region, IE tires with a treadwear rating higher than 180. Regions can make classes like that if demand is there.

It's funny how some people think street tire classes are better then allowing r compounds, I honestly think if you are going to buy another set of rims and summer tires it is going to cost you more money. Naturally if you want to be competitive your going to need the best street tires availiable. you can go to a Speed touring race and buy shaved RA1's for I think it was 15bucks (Canadian) here at Mosport this year, Had I known at the time I would have baught 2 sets.
