I'll be there... with fresh new brake pads and tires (Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s) - went with summer tires per my driving buddy's recommendation. Mike are you getting a suite/garage again? What about the other 'toters?

L,

Yes, I have a garage for the one day at Thunderbolt.  I'll bring the heater, just in case.  We'll have to rough it at Lightning.  Jeff/Shen was great opening event for RTR.  As always, all RTR's are welcome to hang out rain or shine.

Just checked the weather for next Thurs and Fri.  It is supposed to be beautiful.

I have a suite and a garage for Thursday night and Friday afternoon.   I would be willing to share the costs - I believe the total is about $145.00.  send me a PM if interested.

Lainey. if I can suggest something regarding those tires. Start with 22/23 in the front & 24/25 in the rear. They absolutely hate high tire pressure. Anything over 30 and they are really loose & slippery. I find that the ideal tire pressure during the course of a session for those tires is 27/28 in the front & 29/30 in the rear. Eventhough those tires did not quite meet my expectations they are still very nicely designed tires and I would buy them again for street use.

Mike,

Question for you, were these on 18" or 19" wheels?  The pressures seem really low... what was the pressure off track?  I am breaking them in before NJMP on the street so will have to see... I can imagine due to the tread pattern that if overinflated they could lose grip on the sidewalls...

My buddy JT is also getting them for his CS and will be at NJMP too, so we will both see how we make out.

Thanks for the input!
