Toyo RR costs????

4th weekend and they were junk.
I could run them at 3 weekends, but it wasn't fun. This also is very track dependent. MSR-C is a slick track, but it seems to like tires w/ a weekend already on them. Hallett, as I recall (been a while) likes new rubber w/ no heat cycles.

My best recollection is new tires during weekend 3.

FYI,Mike Stacy told me Hallett is being resurfaced at the end of this month.

That is pretty darn close to my opinion as well. After 3 weekends, if there was tire left they were only used for goofing around or as worst case scenario a spare in case of a puncture.
The 3rd weekend for me still felt pretty good, but that might be the 150 lb less weight.

I just hope these RR's don't fall off as much as we are talking. I was planning on running the RR's at TWS and Hallett but if they start heat cycling out quickly then they will be crap for the 2nd part of Hallett when the grip will be most important!! I'm thinking of running the RA1's for part of TWS so I can save the RR's for Hallett.
The purpose of CMC is budget racing. (I know, budget racing doesn't exist, haha). Buying a new set of tires for each event is NOT budget racing.

If we can get two race weekends out of them I could stand it. One is not right for a series like CMC. I used to buy 10 tires per season. If 12 would last and be fast enough for six race weekends......... I guess I should have kept up with my times because I really thought the RA1 was supposed to be good until it was gone. If we only raced on the newer tires and testing was done on older tires that would keep the cycles down. I don't have a way to carry the number of tires and wheels I would need to do that. I would need five or six wheels and tires for Qual and racing and another four or five (if something happened) for testing. Four on the car and six to seven extras. I think with my two trailer spares I can only carry three or four extra tires and wheels. Either way we are going to have to figure out a way to keep heat cycles down.

Skip practice in the morning or just use old tires and then use RR for qualifying.

That could be good or bad....

I hope this is true. Hallett with new blacktop sounds like fun.
