Hi Mark, I take it you do Rally or do you auto-x with a
co-driver? I've heard the G-Force is not as good as the
older R1's, True?

Too bad we can't watch the Nationals here, I'd love to see how they
drive. I guess my times are way off from National times as well.
When I get up to 2 sets a year I hope I'm doing better than I am
now.

Yep, I agree, I'll be spending the $$$ next year but I think the
advantages will outweigh the drawbacks. I can always use street
tires but I have a feeling once I switch to R tires there won't
be any going back.
