I was a little late on buying an AI car this month.

    Interesting tire info. What about a brand new RR? I would love it for the tires to be like that but the problem seems to be more seeing guys drop seconds when going to brand new RR's. Michael has done stuff like that at TWS and the difference just doesn't make any sense but I think he was faster on say a 18 HC RR compared to a 8 cycle RR.
    Where is the video of Will?

    I have good data on that too, Kevin threw some 1HC RR's on Sunday, Mason was almost a second faster on 10+ HC tires. Bill told me he was fastest on a set of RR's that had the steel belts showing. Craig seemed to get faster the more HC's he got on his RR's, I think they were stickers for qual on Sat.

    With my car, it didn't seem to make much of a difference how many heat cycles the tires had. The second race on Sunday I was on the same tires and ran 3 seconds fast but was able to get in front of Mason and had a clean track ahead of me. My brake system is jacked and I have to think about half a second before I actually needed the brakes to work so I didn't push any issues with anyone and take us both out. Fun weekend with clean racing by all.........in our group that is. I heard the Thunder Roadsters had some retaliation going on.
    I also have to apologize for that early start on the first race Saturday. The flagger threw the green three times and apparently ours was to be the second, second green not the first, second green. I did't see that text memo come across my phone on the warm up lap.

    I would be happy to break in those crappy stickers for the hot 10 HC setup at no charge, just send the new tires to my house. I hardly ever spin or go off track :-)

    On the winding road facebook page but looks like Tam's post. This might be the link. https://www.facebook.com/tam.murray....84358261583850

    Wonder if they made him write this after he totaled the Miata. http://www.windingroad.com/articles/...eid=4e618c612d

    Wow! Thanks for posting, the track was very slick on the other side of the "curbing" there, I guess he just understeered right into the tires.
