Well said.

Of course in our neck of the woods there=E2=80=99s a lot of folks that =
think everyone should be on TDs, because they are vintage tires and =
Speedsters are not. I=E2=80=99ve raced a lot on both. I like speedsters. =
Not just because they are faster, but because they work well for a long =
time. They fall off a little after the second or third time on the =
track, but that=E2=80=99s about it. Somewhere around the end of the =
season they start losing more seconds, and it=E2=80=99s time to go. I =
never wear them out unless I flat spot them.=20

Tbs on the other hand, start losing time right away, and never stop. By =
the third time on track they=E2=80=99ve lost two seconds, and they keep =
going. No thanks. I don=E2=80=99t do this to be limited by my tires.=20
