I'd like to go and spectate, but I'm not sure if I'll make it out there. I went last year though....have lots of pictures.

I dont have a magnetic one... but if this number is going to stick with me then i can get one made... maybe later... 2nd or 3rd event then...

cool deal with the tech numbering...

any restrictions on the amount of tire 32nds that are needed... mine are probably pretty low... just need to see if i'm within limits... no belts are showing...

I'll be doing all my prep the day before...

If I am there with it, yes I would. Otherwise I'd just drive the FX for storage area.

Minimal tread depth is fine. Heck - we pay extra to get our brand new tires shaved to 2 or 3 / 32nds. You just can't have any cords showing.

dibs on being a passenger???

For the tire comment... here's my guess...

shaving the tires down reduces the amount of "roll" they have... with the 10/32nds that normally come on our tires, that leaves an excess of rubber to shift around during cornering... less rubber (or tread) means a more "positive" feel.

Am i correct???
