Never, ever, EVER start figuring out what you're spending to race. That's
how I got Peyote--Baxter figured out what it was costing him per lap to
race, and sold all his cars.

When you put it that way, Jeff, you are saying it is costing us about $66
per session for tires! I have not bothered counting heat cycles, that would
probably really depress me.
I am trying the less camber approach to even out the wear on the fronts,
hopefully that will get me past the 2 to 3 weekends I have been getting.
The addition to the house project is sort of back on track, so I'm going to
join Russ Moore and Donny Sopp at Mosport this weekend for a VARAC/CASC
weekend. My tires have the better part of the VDCA April event at VIR and
the Mitty (including test day) on them. We'll see how they hold up.
