    You know if we studded these things they'd really dig in the unimproved racing surface.

    I have some RR's with about 20HC's that you can have. I have no way to get them to TWS though. They are in Richardson (75081 zip) and are yours for free if you want to get them. Michael may have some as well.

    Thanks Marshall. Mainly looking for something to practice on on Friday. I meant to buy another set but forgot. May try to call somewhere and see if I can get a set before Thursday next week.

    If you ordered from Phils today you would get them in time as well. Do you only have 4 new tires for the weekend? Just practice on what you have. I think the RR's work just fine past 30 heat cycles.

    40 if you don't cord them... tire management is your friend.

    Ahh the pleasures of being lightweight. I'm sure mine will make it past 40 HC's but may need to flip them a second time if they don't cord somewhere first. They seem much better than the RA1's that required you to get some heat in the tire before it would start to grip.
    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.
