continued from Jim's build thread:
I'm not sure why they wouldn't allow a water sprayer, but it's been a while since I looked at the rules so I'd have to double-check.
As far as tires go, I'm not really sure at this point. It will likely be a few years before the car is ready, but the goal is to run as many HPDEs at Lime Rock as I can afford once the E153 is in the car next summer. At that point it will likely only make 300whp, which ought to be interesting enough. From your description, it sounds like I'm just going to vaporize the tires- I may be better off running on low boost for reliability and traction. I definitely appreciate the insight- I spend most of my time trying to go fast in a straight line, so this kind of stuff is new to me!
Duly noted- I've got some ideas on how to run the ducting, and I'm working on getting some Astina knuckles to be able to run bigger Miata rotors front and rear (for the first, low-power version of the car). Since the event is 5000 miles, reliability is definitely going to be important.
