Tires

[emayer]

Awesome feedback, thanks!

Those that I've had the pleasure of meeting know I'm hooked on DE!  

Having considered the situation for some time now, it is inevitable that I'll be switching over to a track dedicated car, either later this season or next year (Just don't tell my wife!).  The points made about cost, safety, and learning potential are well taken.  By the same token, my view has always been that cars like the R8 etc. are designed to be driven, and these events are a great way to exploit them safely.  I'll likely continue to do this on occasion, even after switching to a track car.

Since the R8 tops the scales at 3400+ pounds, weight is an issue.  I know this firsthand regarding brakes/tires with the previous version, and a lot was learned in the process.  I will be upgrading both accordingly and everyone's input has helped immensely in sorting this through.

Jack, Ken, et al. it would be great to do the Roos school with you in April, I'll start another post on the topic.
