    Also, when I talked to Phil's they said the tire money was increased due to the complaints that the Spec Miata's get the same amount of prize money yet our tires are much more expensive so they upped the payout for our classes.

    Marshall-next time I'm in the shop area I'll be glad to pick those up and take them off your hands.
    Bryan,
    Sounds good.

    It looks like rain tires might pay off.
    Friday - 80% rain
    Saturday - 50% rain with morning storms
    Sunday - 30% rain with isolated storms

    Remember your anti-fog. Apply liberally and often. If you can't see, it doesn't matter how good your tires are.
    This goes for Rain-X as well.

    And of course I ordered another set of RR's based on what the weather said on Monday. Doesn't matter. I won't race if its raining that bad anyways.

    Don't worry. Michael can show you the way from T1 to T4 in a driving rain storm.
