Honestly, that's yet to be seen. The registration max is 36 people and it's only 1/2 of the full course. There are a lot of events up here (NorCal) that we go to that are $109 for a full day at the 3.2 mile course called Thunderhill Raceway. This event, so it seems, is more of a show-with-some-go. The full track of Buttonwillow absolutely rocks though.

I actually want to downsize to some 18's now for the better tire options... so I'll be in the market 3 years from now when I see my Z again after I move lol....
I think I'm going with the Nitto NT05's:
Nitto NT05
245/35/19 = $221 (www.discounttiredirect.com)
275/35/19 = $267 (www.discounttiredirect.com)
I'm also considering these, mostly because I would be able to put some 255's up front with 275's in the rear to get rid of some of my Z's understeer.
Nitto INVO
245/35/19 = $213 (www.discounttiredirect.com)
255/35/19 = $229 (www.discounttiredirect.com)
275/35/19 = $245 (www.discounttiredirect.com)
285/35/19 = $269 (www.discounttiredirect.com)
What do you guys think, 245/35/19 x 275/35/19 NT05's or 255/35/19 x 275/35/19 INVO's for tracking?
I'm dissapointed it's not the full track though, I totally overlooked where it said "west loop."

I swapped them for the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs, and the difference was immense. As far as I recall, they were about the same price, but that may have changed.
Also look into the Toyo R1R's. I know some people that swear by them.
I'm not that familiar with the Nitto NT05's, but as far as I know, they'd be much better than the Invo's.

These are going on my Enkeis, I don't have stock wheels any more. These are the only tires aside from Toyo R888s that will fit, and R888s are out of budget this time around. So I think I'll go with the NT05s.
Wheels are 19x8.5, 19x9.5 so I'm limited on options.

Here's some of the research I pulled up on the street class version of the tire for those who may be interested:

I'll be doing my own review of the tire after Buttonwillow West loop and some mountain runs.
