    Looking to verify tire sizes for a set of challenge wheels. 8"wide front, 10" rear. I seem to be coming up with 225/40-18 front and 265/ 275/40-18 rear, from the forum, thanks for your help. Bryan.

    your welcome. The 355 challenge books come up for sale occasionally, but i have not seen the 348 challenge book for sale for a very long time.

    And that was late October, Tim!


    You've been away too long. :D

    They repaved the track and the paddock about four years ago.

    Great pictures, thank you very much. Lime Rock is a great place, we did a lot of laps at the old Nelson Ledges ( now greatly improved) always wished we were closer to Lime Rock. Thanks again for the info, Bryan.

    Brian,

    They got rid of the concrete patches when they repaved. We now have more uniform grip around the track. I think they did a good job maintaining all the camber nuances at every turn. The compression zones for The Uphill and Downhill are still there.

    Here I am at the apex of West Bend heading for The Downhill...

    You're welcome, Bryan.

    You'll like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in the stock sizes I indicated. They're great for the street and should you want to track your 348, you can use them on the track too. Even in 45 degrees, they warmed up quickly and I soon forgot that I wasn't on slicks...

    THANKS! Sadly, I rarely drive it any more, and with COVID I haven't even seen it in a while since I live in MD and the car lives in FL.

    That's a nice one, Ira. It's my favorite 348 Challenge!

    This year was rough but at least I was able to get to Sebring, Watkins Glen and Lime Rock Park.

    Let's hope for a better 2021.

    And don't feel bad. I live in Seattle but my SpecMiata lives in Louisville. :( I haven't driven it in a long while. Last time out was Mid-Ohio in the rain in, say 2014? It did get out to Road Atlanta in 2017 or so. I let a friend borrow it.

    Barry/Brian- thanks for the kind words, and Happy Thanksgiving!
    And I guess the inability to drive "toy" cars as often as we'd like is definitely a first-world problem! The photo above is from PBIR in late January, so it's been a while . . .
