i might, motorcycles are the 8 to 12 session and cars are 1pm to 5pm so track temps should be fairly good. The reasons for might is that i want to save my rubber for SCCA NARRC finals at LRP the 28/29. Getting only 8 good heat cycles on the 35's, maybe next year i'll choose 45's like Bruce, as those can run longer (with less overall grip potential of course).

Hoosier 45 compound slicks are spec in Formula Enterprises (FE).

Yup, so you have to run those per SCCA rules. Was chatting with the pro guys at the recent NHIS event and they said 45s are very good and suggested i should consider them to help keep budget in some semblance of sanity for 2008.

FYI everyone, WEATHER looks great for Thursday with AM Clouds / PM Sun and temps of 78Â°/55Â° (only 10% chance of rain).

It was a perfect afternoon for testing! Warm, not hot track, and 4 hours of open track (no run groups, just run run run, except for 20 minutes to clean up a little gravel thrown up at turn 1. Bill Washburn, Steve Pope, the Mcparlands, guy that drives the black MR2, the V8 Healey, and some highly modded rallye type STi A very fast GT3 all out race car seemed to be the class of the afternoon. I had hoped to have my rear bar, but the order was messed up. Hotchkis bars should arrive next week, so if the weather holds for the Oct 4 test day, I should be able to feel it out before the Oct time trials.
I saved my Hoosiers for Oct, but was damned impressed with the grip from the Kumho V700's. They felt about 5 seconds faster than the RA1's

Congrats Sam, sounds like everyone had a great time! Are the Hoosiers heat cycled yet?

Hay Caramba!
I was in Mexico! Sorry I could be there but the cucaracha Alfa is still in need of repairs: exhaust, springs and motor mounts. I brought some burritos to fix it but it's the wrong model so now I drink a nice Tequila reposado to be happy hombre!

Still a mistery why there are selling new Alfas in Mexico but not here in the USA.
Adios Amigos!
I will "practice" on the autobhan next week going from Munich to Kitbuehl ... YA!
