The biggest thing was this track day gave me more confidence in how the car feels close to the limit. The spin out was hugh for me and the S curves that I felt myself 4 wheel drifting................man what a feeling still being in full control while sliding around a corner.

V700 is a stickier tire than the a048 btw..
Tires....................... glad you brought this up, the tires I was running are several years old (Fall 2005) but only have 2 events on them (one last year and this last event.

I just bought a set of R6 Hoosier's for the TT (to give JohnM a wooping) but now I'm thinking of not using them because I may be faster running a tire I'm use to? If the tires still have good life to them I would hate to throw them out if there a couple more events left in them?

Whata you think about that?

Here a pic of the Kuhmo's front/rear and mounted..........
