We ran the new compound Evinco Blues again this last weekend. They were the same tires we ran at NOLA, so they were already used. This weekend we were at Speedsportz Racing Park, where we have raced before, so we actually had some comparison. With them, my daughter ended up running about a second a lap faster than she did the last time she raced her (October 2019). I will admit, this weekend was about 10 degrees warmer, but was also a little more overcast. I forget what the wind was like in October, but this weekend was blowing some, which is typical. I’ll admit, her full second may not be all due to the tire, but running on a set that had close to 60 laps across 6 track sessions, has to say something for the tire.
When it came to mounting them in March, I only had an issue with one of the seating, the rest were fairly easy. As far as actually mounting on the rim, I use a Turbo Tire changer, so it’s still easy, but I could tell it felt a little stiffer.
