hello everyone! busy week.

david .. congrats on your time at sow!

t1r's are great daily wheels, but don't grip too well on the tracks. ps2's, on the other hand, feel a bit stiffer as daily wheels, but stick nicely at the tracks (especially on the bowls!).

kev, you spoiled me w/ the ps2's. i can only go rcomps from here.

What was his time at SOW? He didn't seem too happy and I can't find him on the timing list. That 1:39:054 isn't too bad with the street tires on. Nice work Carole. You should come to buttonwillow with me. I've got a buddy coming with his expedition so we can bring lots of goodies with us. PM me.

i think he did a 1:34. he was pretty fast. his car is all gutted out for the tracks!

when are you going to buttonwillow? that track kinda scares me. it's so long.

i'm thinking of giving tracking a break for the summer. i've been going to some event almost every month since november.

Hehe Carole I told ya that you won't be able to go back to any other street tires There's a reason why Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini use PS2s as standard tires on their cars.
Only way you'll be more sastified is like you said, r-componds! But then they're not exactly practical aren't they~

okay so here's what i think... running sticky tires are great, but if you don't have good suspension that's will support your tires will just be useless. also if you have sticky tires but your brake pads can't take the beating and heat up too high...it will start to fade... this is just my
