Andy,
Time for a set of Kumhos!
I did the same thing to a set of BFG R1's. Racing is bad, Practice sessions
are WORST! The last practice here, some folks wearing Hoosiers went through
10 tires. You pay BIG TIME for that rubber. The Kumhos are great since they
are very sticky and last so much longer than the Hoosiers and BFG's. Their
new tire, the Ecsta V700 will be almost as light as the Hoosiers but with
the long wear as their current Victoracers. But they wont be SCCA legal
until this fall.

Subject: One race too many
Here is what happens to racing slicks when you go one race too many. I came
in second place but only by .059 seconds. It was very close and I think I
can
blame it on the tires. See for your self.
