12 lbs difference per corner 15"s vs 13"s. I have a feeling this will be a significant difference.

I've been looking for wheels for the Mini. I thought I found a good deal on some Bassetts... turns out they weigh like 22 lbs. Holy crap.

yeah, they're cheap, but unfortunately weigh a ton!
OK, so BMW bottle caps on Corollas. As much of a revelation as seeing 3rd Gen Camaros with BMW wheels bolted right on.
The annual backyard dirt track/birthday party go kart race was last weekend. I regeared the kart and it was much happier. Next upgrade needs to be a real wheel/tire setup. I was pretty quick all day and made the A-main but the clutch was acting up all day and finally gave up/fused itself halfway through the final event. I didn't finish but really had no shot at the win anyway. Fun day!
A couple of interesting things in the works:
The weekend of 3/11, Porsche club is hosting an autox at St Lucie Fairgrounds, and also the SCCA is hosting a night rallyx at the same fairgrounds. Neat! The Spyder needs some testing on the new 13" wheels and the YXZ always needs to do some rippin. So, I'm going to borrow my buddy's long trailer and haul them both over there for a double header!
I'm also hearing some chatter that SCCA is going to include the UTV class in this year's rallyx Nationals in October. So I'm strongly considering a haul to Topeka, KS to see how the YXZ and I can stack up against national competition. I'm not totally set on it yet, but it is quite enticing.
borrowed the trailer from a Lemons teammate. My base f150 company truck pulls it better than it does my enclosed trailer with the Crown Vic inside.

That setup looks like you're up for fun no matter what the conditions. How long is the deck on that trailer?
You should paint the wheels YXZ red!
I'm not sure how long the deck is, I'll try to get a measurement tomorrow.
I don't really love the red wheels, looks a bit Ronald McDonald. They might be black for the Challenge if I get motivated to take em off and paint them. But they were the cheapest 13x8s around. Probably because they're red! Lol

25' deck. Pretty fancy!
-the Spyder LOVES the smaller tires. I was in the sweet spot of the rpms all day!
-a clean pre-filter does NOT mean your actual air filter is clean underneath. I had to call it early at the rallyx :(
