Howdy all;
Quick shout to see of someone out there who is autocrossing saturday has a Durometer they wouldn't mind letting us play with.

We promise to give it back!

As ever, thanks!

Sorry I won't be there Sat. What are you measuring? Tire compounds? There are different tools needed for different materials. http://www.westportcorp.com/hardness/re ... rIndex.asp

Did you say "Dumbometer" or Durometer? Is the durometer the little gauge-thingy that measures tread depth? If so, I'll bring mine. (I call it the $$-meter :lol: ) I also have a "Dumbometer" .... but that's at work. :shock:

Look for em in the pits. 8)

Not tire depth but tire "hardness", softer is better. Steve G has one
